Progressive is Your New Best Friend
They offer name-your-price insurance options, and snappy commercials with Flo, the agent with the "big, tricked-out nametag." But did you know that Progressive also offers resume advice-- for free?
I know what you're thinking. "Let it lie, Cara. I've read 87 of your blog posts on resume advice, and my resume is awesome, so leave me alone." Uh-huh. But have you ever had a employer who works in college recruitment give your resume the once-over? If not, you might be interested in this free opportuntiy. Read on...
Courtney Cole is a college recruiter at Progressive Insurance, and she wants to look at your resume. "I review resumes on a daily basis," Cole says. "I know what employers look for in resumes for [both] internships and regular employment. I can review [your resume], and offer advice on potential improvements." Want to participate? Just email your resume to Courtney at cco......@progressive.com.
My ESP is kicking in again. You just clicked "send" on your email to Courtney, and now you're thinking, "Wow, that's an incredible opportunity. Do employers in other industries offer this service, too?" Never fear, Dawgs. As always, the UW Career Center has your back.
On Tuesday, April 7th, our office is hosting our Resume Cafe from 1:30-4:30pm in the Mary Gates Hall Commons. Employers from all different industries will be available to review your resume. Meet one-one-one with industry experts for advice on formatting, content, and how to make your resume stand out! Registration begins at 1pm on the day of the event. (Bonus points for showing up with a giant nametag like Flo's.)
