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

Communicator, Sell – and Share – Thyself
A couple of weeks ago, IABC/Washington (of which I’m president-elect) held its annual “resume review and networking night.” This has become something of a tradition for us, and one of the chapter events I enjoy the most. Every August, we scrap our usual monthly meeting format (bar, dinner, speaker, you’ve all been there before) and devote the evening to networking.
Um, yeah. Nothing new.
What I think adds a different dimension to this event is that we schedule a limited number of free resume reviews and career counseling sessions, which take place throughout the evening, which senior communicators – both members and non-members – graciously donate their time to do.
It’s a bear to organize. Putting the schedule together, dropping people in, rearranging things because folks have conflicts that come up, handling late requests and walk-ins when the schedule is already overflowing… yea, you get the picture.
