Free resume writing workshop on June 6

People who have recently lost their job, are looking for a new job, or are just trying to keep their resume up-to-date should take advantage of the free resume writing workshop to be hosted by Rasmussen College on Saturday, June 6, from noon to 3 p.m.

Attendees will learn how to write and format a resume properly, how to highlight strengths, and how to use a resume to secure a new career. Career placement professionals will lead the workshop and give tips and tricks to attendees on finding jobs and getting hired.

Computers will be available for job seekers to use to create their resumes. People will also be able to use the Internet on the campus to search for available positions.

"As the unemployment rate rises and as the economy continues to get worse, Rasmussen College wants to be a tool for our communities to use in order to survive and grow despite this recession," said Rasmussen College's director of career services, Tami Hanson. "Our first step is to help people fine tune their resumes because they are so important to the job search process. Next, we will hold another one of our national career fairs."

The National Career Fair will take place on Thursday, June 11, from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit http://www. rasmussen.edu/careerfairweek/.

People who cannot come to a campus can take the workshop online Tuesday, June 9, at 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
