In those few seconds you need to clearly demonstrate how your skills, experience, education and competencies match what they are looking for. 7 seconds isn’t long to make that kind of impression. In this session you will learn what employers look for in a resume, and how to brand yourself. Hosted by Natasha Pisani Talent Acquisition Advisor @ The City of Brampton.</p><h3></h3><p></p>
