Impressing your Employers: The CV and Social Network Advantage Workshop
What do we mean by battles?
We mean your CV (Curriculum Vitae), or more specifically what companies look for in a CV and the format of CVs;
We mean your Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In account, which you can be sure employers are very interested at;
We mean using all the resources available to impress your potential employers before they even get a glimpse of you in person.
Therefore, UQMSA is presenting to you the “Impressing your Employers: The CV and Social Network Advantage Workshop”, where our speakers will guide you through the intricacies and complexities of this tricky subject matter.
The first part of the workshop will be presented to you by our very own Abang Rahmat, who holds a PhD in Business Management and experienced lecturer at Petronas.
