Have you ever written a cover letter, but weren't quite sure if it was good enough?

The cover letter might seem less important, but it is your opportunity to connect with the hiring manager and add some personality to the application.

Be ready to step into the shoes of a hiring manager, review some cover letters and learn how to write a cover letter that will make you stand out from the competition.

This workshop will be held in-person only in Library 160B. Come and join us.

Do you know the best way to market yourself in your resume?

Hiring managers don't need you telling them what your day-to-day duties are, they probably already know them.

This workshop will help you to understand your personal value proposition and how to write a resume that is unique to your experience and skills.

Practice makes perfect; bring your current resume!

👉 June 2 - Interviewing Part 1: Be Prepared, Be On Time, Be The One
Maximize your chances of success by learning about what you need to do in the days leading up to your interview. Figure out what you should (and should not!) wear to an interview, discover how early you should arrive, and why it is so important to be nice to everyone that you meet.

👉 June 3 - Interviewing Part 2: Why You Should Do The Grouse Grind Before Your Interview
The way you sit while you are waiting to be called into the interview room, the general conversation before the formal question, and whether you follow up after the interview to thank them for their time, are all contributing factors towards the impression that you give to the potential employer. In this workshop, you will have an opportunity to practice answering some of the most frequently asked questions and learn why it's a good idea to hike the Grouse Grind before your interview.
