1. Resume and cover letter writing

THE FIRST IMPRESSION YOU MAKE SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE.

From a well-written cover letter to a resume tailored to highlight your skills and experiences as they relate to the position for which you’re applying, these documents are a potential employer’s first impression of you. They can be the deal-maker or deal-breaker when it comes to landing an interview, so we’re here to help you perfect your professional (written) image.

BRINGING YOUR RESUME AND COVER LETTER TO LIFE

You landed the interview; now what? Every component of an interview is an important one, so let’s practice! From what you wear, to your eye contact, handshake, and the confidence you exude when you respond to your interviewer’s questions will all be second nature.
