2. Jean Westberg: Wallin Education
Provide your expertise to a young scholar as they build their resume.
During the week of June 14, Wallin Educational Partners is matching scholars with professionals in a one on one virtual conversation to help a student build their resume. 7-8 Rotarians are needed to support this effort with a time commitment of up to three hours. Individuals with hiring experience or those who might have helpful feedback on graduate school applications are needed. Portions of the work may be done during one-on-one conversations, and feedback may also be given over email.
Here is how Wallin has promoted this to their scholars.
Resume review/matching – ongoing event where professionals are matched with students in one-on-one virtual conversations to provide support with resume building and LinkedIn profile. "Polishing your resume? Get feedback from a professional during the week of June 14th"
