Ramp Up Your Resume
Location: WJCS, 845 North Broadway, North White Plains
Sorry to say... upon receiving a resume, employers will not
call and offer you a job! They might, however, invite you in
for an INTERVIEW! That's your goal! Your resume opens
the door. It is the carrot you dangle to get noticed and
create initial interest in your candidacy! Make sure it is ready to impress and make
you memorable!
The process of reviewing and ramping up your resume will allow you to relive the
projects you worked on, the group/s you managed and the accomplishments about
which you are most proud. Many resumes are watered down versions of what they
should/could be. Allow yourself the time and attention to indulge your history, to
relish what you have done and to come out the other side with not only a strong
resume as your marketing collateral, but an opportunity to have thought through
your successes, and feel empowered to confidently discuss and demonstrate your
talents!
Connect with others,
access great articles,

ARTS and LEISURE
Elaine Reichek: A Postcolonial Kinderhood Revisited
opening August 23, 2013
In 1993 the Jewish Museum commissioned Elaine Reichek to create an installation that
explored her personal identity. Reimagining her childhood bedroom, Reichek displayed her
first-generation Jewish American parents’ efforts to assimilate in the American mainstream
through colonial-style furnishings. A Postcolonial Kinderhood, installed in 1994, probed the
fears and embarrassments—real or imagined—that still prevailed among many American Jews
and is one of the earliest major works to confront the paradoxes of American Jewish identity. In
this reinstallation the artist has added several components, including video and needlework.

SYMPOSIUM: Who is Jack Goldstein?
Sunday, September 22, 12:30pm
This extended day of discussion brings together a number
of artists who emerged alongside Jack Goldstein in the

Robert Longo, Matt Mullican, Troy Brauntuch, Kathryn

Professor, Department of Art History, New York University,

Opening Sunday, September 15: Chagall: Love, War, and Exile For the first time in the United States, artwork by Marc Chagall from the 1930s and 1940s will be gathered to reveal a lesser‐known side of the artist. Beginning with the richly evocative paintings of his years in France, the exhibition illuminates an artist deeply responsive to the suffering inflicted by war and to his own exile to New York and personal losses. By the late 1940s, Chagall returns to colorful, joy‐
filled work celebrating love. The exhibition will include approximately 31 paintings and 22 works on paper, as well as selected letters, poems, photos, and ephemera. More > Download the free app before you visit! Available for iOS and Android Check out related merchandise in the shop >

Inspired by sacred geometry and tile patterns found in synagogues, churches, and mosques around the world, the exhibition brings together ancient motifs and contemporary design aesthetics to reflect the group’s hybrid identity and utopian vision.
