Become more than just piece of paper to employers at LIVE RESUME March 23rd, 2016 in Eugene, OR
What: Live Resume is an excellent and unique opportunity for job seekers with disabilities to meet and network with local employers in an intimate and supportive environment. During the main event, every participant will have up to three minutes to verbally present their “Live Resume” to a room full of recruiters and hiring managers who are looking to fill positions within their organization. After the presentations, there is an hour of networking with the employers. Leading up to the main event, participants must be available for a practice session, where they work on their presentation and learn how to best communicate their skills and abilities. Participants will also receive a handout with insider tips on how to best network with employers.
