What’s Up in Social Work?

Thank you to Liza Lorenzetti and all the faculty who donated money to the student food bank. $75 was raised and donated.
Thank-you also to Catherine Pearl’s SOWK 355 class for their generous food and monetary donations made to the food bank before the winter break!
The red food collection bin will be outside the SWSA office (PF 4253) for the entire winter semester if you would like to make a donation.  SWSA will be checking the bin and dropping donations off regularly at the student food bank.

Career and Employment Tip
By Angela Judge, Career Specialist, Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary

A professional resume is a critical tool for your job search.  Sitting down to write a resume is a big task.  I find it useful to create a comprehensive or master resume which includes all of your education and experience.  This allows you to respond quickly when you hear about a position through your network or online. You can quickly scan your experience and pull out two pages that are most relevant to the organization based on their job advertisement. This strategy ensures you have a well written, comprehensive and targeted resume every time.
