ELI News and Updates - September 20, 2011

Dear ELI students,

October is Resume Month at the ELI

Do you have a resume in English? A resume (also known as a résumé) is a brief summary of your education and work experience, which you may give to a potential employer or include in scholarship, college, or graduate school applications. In the month of October, make an appointment with your ELI Advisor to get help with creating a resume. Whether you have a resume in your native language or have never had a resume, your ELI Advisor can help you create a new resume in English of which you can be proud!
