Resumix

"Resumix" is a Spring event where select PMAP alumni and friends are invited back to campus to help current students get their resumes critiqued for the different employment sectors students are interested in.  Alumni/guests will provide valuable feedback on what employers are looking for in job candidates.  Guest reviewers will be limited to the number of students they can accommodate, so students will be chosen by lottery to fill appointment slots.  Appointments will be 30 minutes each.
