Objectives and Content
In this workshop, we’ll talk about the whys and hows of the cover letter. We’ll learn how to use simple tools to create a cover letter – or letter of interest – that stands out and helps you get an interview.
- What is the purpose of a cover letter and what will potential employers expect to see?
- What goes in the cover letter? What should I avoid? How do I know what to say and what to leave out?
- How do I use my cover letter skills to reach out to companies without posted positions?
