I am Neil Panchal, a senior at Georgia Tech majoring in Mechanical Engineering. With an opportunity of helping the homeless, the HPS 1040 class has allowed me to not only learn about achieving a healthy lifestyle, but also help others to achieve it. I have had an opportunity to help the homeless by providing necessary help for resume building and shaping their career interests.
Eagle’s Nest Resource Center had organized a Saturday resume building session. It was held at a small place with a resourceful computer cluster. Attached are some pictures taken at the facility as we aided the homeless individuals. In today’s modern world, it is necessary to learn and use computers. The homeless people who arrived at the facility were clearly computer illiterate. Along with a half-a-dozen team members, we provided the necessary advice for resume building. They provided information regarding their past experiences and future endeavors. We helped them by giving them a constructive feedback on what a professional resume comprises of and how to put their career interests across prospective employers. Indeed, a stable employment is a key part of once’s survival in the modern economy and resume building is just one step towards a bright future. A good employment can not only raise the standards of living but also improve their health conditions by attaining a healthy lifestyle.
I am glad to have made a difference through Eagle’s Nest Resource Center and I wish all the best to the homeless individuals needing help.
