Resume, Networking, and Interview Recommendations

We're less than two weeks away from the NSMH (National Society of Minorities in Hospitality) national conference in Atlanta! I'm sure student attendees are polishing their resumes and brainstorming the most effective answers to popular interview questions.

Last month, I shared the following links with the HBCU students we're sponsoring and thought perhaps other students would also find them useful. Just so you know, I have a strict policy on never recommending anything I haven't read and found valuable myself, so you can all trust my recommendations will be worth your time! =)

1st - Here's a link to an article on YouTube resources, which is excellent for visual learners. I've watched the resume videos by Catherine Byers Breet. She offers great tips on resume writing. http://tinyurl.com/4uqoo6e

2nd - Many companies, including Hyatt, are hosting "Networking Suites" during the conference. Recognizing that networking can be a little stressful, the link below is to an article entitled "Networking Survival: Tips for Introverts"http://tinyurl.com/4gldn4f

3rd - Many applicants find it difficult to answer the question, "What Are Your Strengths?", this link is to an article that offers tips on how to most effectively answer that question. http://tinyurl.com/4qzkts3

Our team is looking forward to traveling to Atlanta! Safe travels!
