Dr. Hurbik proficiently educated the attendees about the differences between CV and Résumé. She, further elaborated on the necessary components and then guided the students on writing their own “accurate” CV and Résumé. The interactive session was followed by further questions from the students to clear all queries.
Dr. Hurbik elegantly steered the workshop toward “Interview Skills”. She pointed out that Communication Skills & confidence are the most valuable quality an interviewee can possess. Attendees were further guided on polishing their communication skills. The use of informal and ‘too-personal’ phrases is discouraged in order to portray a put-together personality.
