Resume workshops?

n88tr

I am looking to learn more about this topic. Ideally I would like to go to somewhere and learn instead of reading online because that makes me feel like "too many cooks in the kitchen."

I googled "resume workshops 2014 wisconsin" and got a ton of hits but nothing really good. How would you do what I'm trying to do?

Thank you polycounters

Well, if you have money to spend for that might as well hire a gamedev HR person on a consultation basis.

And if you still have money to burn, hire a lead artist (somebody in a position to decide who to hire) to critique your portfolio.

Use Google hangouts, skype, gmail video chat, facetime.

But if you like free coffee and donuts included in your workshop fee, I'm sure there are lots of seminars out there in job fairs and such.

Simple is GOOD.

When I got laid off from EA a while back they provided a resume workshop, during lunch the instructor told me it costs about $2,000 per person :P
