Roseburg Public Library will host a free resume-building workshop at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday February 29th.

A City release said the event is designed for people who have limited experience with creating a professional resume.

Led by Christian Sala, the library’s Resource Assistance for Rural Environments AmeriCorp member, the workshop will share tools and knowledge to help participants generate resumes that will stand out to potential employers – even if the person has little work experience.

Attendees will learn how to highlight their skills and abilities, showcase their education and extracurricular activities and present themselves in a professional manner.

The release said the workshop will be interactive, giving participants the opportunity to work on resumes with Sala’s guidance. Attendees will receive feedback and suggestions on how to improve their resume and leave with a better understanding of what makes a great resume.

Sala recommends bringing a laptop computer or USB drive that contains a current resume. The library will provide laptops if necessary.

Registration is required for the workshop, which will be held at the library on Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard. To sign up, email: csala@cityofroseburg.org, call 492-7052 or visit the library’s front desk.
