Career Series Part 1: Using R to Land the Job, a Resume Building Tutorial

Welcome to the kick-off of our three-part career series! Over the next three months, we will host events to further develop your skillset and data science network.

Whether or not you're on the job hunt, your resume is an extension of your professional self, so it is important to keep your resume fresh. For our kick-off, our co-organizer Scarlett Winters will lead a tutorial on how to build your resume using pagedown. You will walk away from this tutorial with the skills to prove to employers you know how to code in R well before your interview!

*Prerequisites:
We ask that R-Ladies who are interested in this event please install:

• R:

Additionally, if you have no background with Git or Github, we strongly recommend you take a look at modules 4-8 of the free Happy Git with R book (https://happygitwithr.com/github-acct.html) and follow the instructions to get yourself set up ahead of time to reduce pain the day of. If you need help with this, please come early so we can help you in person.
