Do YOU know what employers look for in an application?

During this informational panel discussion several recruiters and Human Resources professionals will share positive features of resumes that stand out in the stack, whether your resume is reviewed first by a computer or a person. Be able to present what you most want employers to know about your qualifications and increase your chance of being called for an interview.

This program includes presentation and questions. There is no fee for University of Illinois alumni; the fee for University of Illinois non-alumni guests is $45. All pay the cost of the phone call – a standard long distance charge. You can avoid the cost of a phone call by using your computer speakers and microphone to participate in the program (all access instructions will be provided the day before the program).

Moderator:

  • Ron Sipiora, ’77 LER (UI), Senior Vice President, BPI group

Our Panelists are:

  • Bert Rodriguez, ’11 CS (UIS), Director of Human Resources, Newly Weds Foods, Inc.
  • Kerl LaJeune, ’92 AA (UIC), Senior Designer, Solomon Cordwell Buenz
  • Debra P. Evans, MS ’85 ENG (UIC), Senior Program Manager, Hospira
