Taylor recently hosted a Resume Workshop for students from the UTS Built Environment Association at our Head Office. The workshop was facilitated by Elizabeth Mackison, Submissions Manager, and Dan Copping, Talent Manager, who guided the students through the essentials of resume writing.
The session began with an icebreaker activity, an online quiz designed to gauge the students’ current understanding of resume writing. Following this, the workshop covered the basics of resume writing, including how to structure a resume effectively, what experience and qualifications to include, and tips to enhance each section. Students were also taught how to tailor their CVs for specific job applications, making their experience and skills relevant to the positions they are applying for. Elizabeth and Dan also shared important do’s and don’ts for resume writing, tips extremely relevant for the University students.
The workshop then moved into a live resume review, where students volunteered their resumes for a group review, providing a practical, hands-on learning experience. The session also included key pointers for optimising LinkedIn profiles, emphasising the importance of building a professional identity, networking, and attracting potential employers. Students then had the opportunity to review their resumes one-on-one with Elizabeth and Dan, receiving personalised feedback and advice.
As a proud Gold Sponsor of the UTS BEA, Taylor is committed to supporting students’ professional and personal development, helping them develop their skills and knowledge beyond the classroom.
