Resume presentation to NW Fire Diversity Council

Good Afternoon NWFDC Members,

Here is the link for the Zoom presentations we did last week with Monique Hunter if you missed it. Grab some popcorn, a notebook, pen, and get comfy! Very good information for anyone who wants to make their resume stand out, shine, or give it that extra spark. Plus we’ve already watched everything on Netflix has to offer. Monique dove into details on what you can, and should include on your resume, and touched on some interview and testing tips. Please feel free to share with those who may be interested, students, fire and EMS candidates, your kids….. I will be adding it to our FB page and Insta account. It is about 1 hour in length.

I wanted to also thank Monique for putting this presentation together and presenting it in such a professional and welcoming manner. I think it went pretty well for our first try….
