Resume Builder?

If you are interested in filming a Tedx event at Wooster, they are looking for videographers:

"I am hoping to find a couple people willing to help out filming the TEDx event here at Wooster. Camera experience is a definite plus but not necessary.  The date is February 15th from 12pm-6pm with a complimentary dinner at The Wooster Inn afterwards. We will need to meet a couple times and then have a practice run through the week of. They do not need their own camera. Hours can be logged for volunteer hours, incase anyone asks. I would be happy to answer any questions for those interested.

Sincerely

Adam Shapiro"
