I was able to attend two events for the Pat Adams Lecture Series. The sessions I attended were the resume session and keynote dinner. The first session was very informational about the resume and how it is presented to possible employers. Bridgette Heller was able to identify what she looks for in a resume and what stands out to her. What I took away from the session is that it is your content that separates you and not the presentation of it. I also learned that doing things the old school way such as hand written notes are not a bad thing but actually encouraged.
The second event that I attended was the keynote dinner. This event was very helpful as always for business and career planning because you are able to network and get to know business professionals in a professional setting. The main point of the keynote address was power and its importance to the individual. She spoke of many stories that influenced her during her lifetime but the one that struck me was the last story of her friend, Irene, who passed away from colon cancer. She discussed the strength of Irene and her passion and was inspiring to me. Bridgette Heller defined a powerful woman and that was one of the most important values that I took away from the entire event.
