Wednesday, February 17, 2021 2:00 – 3:30pm

Have you seen a job that matches your experience, applied for it, and never even been called in for an interview? It might be that you need to brush up on your job application skills! Your cover letter, resume, or attention to detail may be hindering your success in the job search process.

• what NOT to do in a job application

Attendees will learn:
1. How to assess a job announcement
2. How to optimize your resume
3. How to effectively pull all of your materials together and apply for a job
4. How to present yourself in the best light in order to get an interview
