What to Bring to Career Workshop

Our interactive workshop on March 28th (and the dry run on March 7th) include lots of activities that require you to do some preparation and bring some material about your career search.

Being prepared with the following will ensure your success
  • Bring 10 copies of your resume (1-2 pages, plain paper is fine).
  • If you don't have a resume yet, go to the Michigan Talent Bank and create a resume following the Michigan Works format, to print and bring.
  • Bring 4 copies of a job description you want to interview for
  • Complete "ask 5 for 5 below". Bring the list of 25 words describing you.
  • Complete a free personality test like Myers Briggs. Are you an Introvert or Extrovert?
  • Read through the 3 lists of interview questions below. They will be used in the mock interviews.

If you'd like you can bring business cards with your contact info and career search objective. vistaprint.com will give you 250 business cards free just for the cost of shipping. Otherwise, if you want to bring copies of your resume to use as a take-away for others you meet at the workshop, you can do so.
