Community Justice Connect (formerly Legal Hand), a neighborhood-based network that trains volunteers to provide free legal information, resources, and referrals for those facing civil legal challenges, hosted a resume workshop on Wednesday, Feb. 5.

Titled “Mastering the Art of Resumes: Ready to Land Your Dream Job?” the workshop was led by Rachelle Brown. Participants introduced themselves, shared their current work and career goals, and engaged in a collaborative discussion. They also exchanged advice, asked questions, and offered feedback to help one another strengthen their resumes.
