Boisvert is interested in pursuing a career that involves machinery. Julie Killich, a recruiter in WCC's Office of Admissions, also is pictured. Eastern Michigan's Career Services Center hosted the event, which was designed to assist displaced workers, including making sure their resumes, interviewing skills and job search strategies were in line with the expectations and standards employers are currently seeking. Nearly 60 persons attended the event at the Student Center April 29 and more than 40 resumes were critiqued, said Sarah Kersey Otto, director of EMU's Career Services Center.
