This workshop provides residents with practical guidance on creating and improving resumes tailored to STEM fields. The session will begin with a short overview of resume essentials, including formatting tips, common mistakes to avoid, and strategies for highlighting technical and transferable skills. Examples of strong STEM resumes will be shared to give residents a clear model of what employers and graduate programs are looking for. After the overview, residents will have dedicated time to work on their own resumes. They can either start building from scratch or polish an existing draft. Peer-to-peer feedback will be encouraged in small groups, allowing residents to learn from one another and strengthen their communication skills. The program will close with a short Q&A to address specific questions and provide resources for further resume development.
