As part of its community engagement initiatives, the UNLV Writing Center is piloting a workshop series this summer with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada. On Monday, June 30, Miranda Hannasch and Kelly Stith from the Writing Center held a workshop at the Donald W. Reynolds Clubhouse, teaching high school participants in the Leaders-In-Training program how to write an effective resume.

Workshop discussion points included how to brainstorm and identify skills and experiences as well as how to tailor them for a particular job application. Participants engaged in a reflective writing activity to formulate ideas, exchanged their work with a peer for feedback, and examined job listings and sample resumes, identifying applicable details from them and using that information to create their own resumes.
