First Women's Skills Workshop

The Muslim Women's Welfare of Australia's empowering Resume Writing and Canva Design Workshop was a resounding success! Led by industry experts, the workshop guided our amazing participants through the art of crafting impactful resumes that truly showcase their skills and accomplishments. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your career journey, the insights shared were invaluable.

HR Consultant Sandy Al-Aweik started the workshop with a discussion of understanding modern resume trends and common mistakes. The attendees had a chance to work on dot-points of their own resume and compare it to exemplary samples. The event was an extra special one for MWWA as the president Hajji Faten El Dana graced us with her presence. The women were delighted to have her and requested to hear a word of advice. Hajji Faten spoke about the relevance of education in a woman’s life and that workshops like these strive to push women towards excellence.

The second part of the workshop was led by computer science and systems engineer Zeina Demyati who shared an interactive live demo of Canva and how to use it to design a resume and other graphic material. Using their laptops and smartphones the women participated live by designing on the app and seeking support from Zeina who worked amazingly with all the women!
