What Makes a Recruiter Say Yes?

​You’ve found a job you like. Now comes the big question: How do I give myself a real chance?

​Join ShineQuo and Kendall Stokes, a recruiter at Amica Insurance who works with management trainee programs, for an interactive conversation about getting started—even when your resume is short and you’re still figuring things out.

​What we’ll explore

• ​What recruiters look for in students and recent graduates.

• ​How to show transferable skills from class projects, student clubs, retail jobs, and more.

• ​Resumes and cover letters: What matters, what helps, and where to start.

• ​AI and applications: How to use it thoughtfully and understand the recruiter’s perspective.

• ​What happens after you apply, including when and how to follow up.

​More than a presentation

​Expect a fireside chat, practical guidance, live resume reviews for three selected students, and an Ask a Recruiter Q&A. Bring the questions you’ve been wishing you could ask someone on the hiring side.

​Whether your resume is reviewed or you’re learning from someone else’s, you’ll leave with ideas you can use - and a clearer next step.

​Who’s this for?
College students and recent graduates preparing for first jobs, and management trainee opportunities. You don’t need a polished resume or your whole career mapped out to join.

​Register and bring your questions. Let’s make your next application count.
