The Secret Sauce In Pulling Off A Resume Review Event
This is the second in a two-part series on organizing a résumé review event
Yesterday, I shared the four basic steps you need to undertake when organizing a resume review event.
That’s Kate Perrin of PRofessional Solutions, btw, speaking at IABC/DC Metro’s 2009 event.
Now, let’s continue from there. Steps 5 – 8 will walk you through putting the rest of the pieces in place.
5. Organizing and scheduling the reviews

This is the first in a two-part series on organizing a résumé review event
About a year and a half ago
I wrote a post on IABC/DC Metro’s tradition of organizing an annual résumé review, career counseling and networking night (disclosure: I’m immediate past president).
It’s usually a great event, because résumé reviews are always in demand. At this kind of event, people who might not be able to spend a few hundred dollars on one get them for practically nothing, assuming you have a nominal event fee.
It’s also a good experience for those providing reviews, because they get to see what folks’ resumes are like, give them balanced advice not just on the résumés but serve as a sounding board… as well as maybe learn something new from the folks they are advising.
When I wrote the post, quite a few people were interested in learning more about our “formula” for putting on, and pulling off, such an event.

It really does take a village
This past Tuesday saw the culmination of IABC/DC Metro’s 2010 Silver Inkwell awards.
And by that I mean the result of the blood, sweat and tears of the 130+ entrants, the two co-VPs of the program, our chapter administrators, my entire board… and me.
Boy, am I glad it’s over!
Not because it was something I was dreading
but because it took a LOT of work to coordinate and pull off.
