Chamber Workshop

Our Resume Writing / Interview Skills workshop was conducted as scheduledat the Flint Energies auditorium in Reynolds on May 19, 2009.  The Taylor County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Flint Energies,
provided a workshop designed to give job applicants the skill to write a resume that would attract the attention of potential employers in a positive way.  The workshop also provided interactive role-play to give job applicants the confidence to have a successful job interview.  The workshop was designed and professionally presented by Karen Garza, Sr.Vice President of Corporate Services, Flint EMC.  Mrs. Garza covered the important items that should be on a job resume as well as things that should NOT be included.  She also discussed the length of the resume and the importance of neatness, proper language and spelling.


She made attendees aware that things that they do off the job can affect their job or their chances of getting a job. Things such as criminal behavior, or even lewd comments and photo's on social networking websites
like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube affect how you represent an organization.  The workshop ended with a mock role-play designed to impress on attendees the importance of dress, body language, eye contact, and professional  appearance as well as well thought out answers to questions that may be asked.  The presentation was informative and thought provoking.  The Taylor County Chamber of Commerce is appreciative to Flint Energies for providing the facility and to Mrs. Garza for her professional expertise in presenting the workshop.
