This week's topic: Crafting the Perfect Cover Letter

The cover letter is an essential part of the job search. While it helps provide more insight into your skillset and professional goals, it's also an important opportunity to distinguish yourself from everyone else. In this workshop, you'll learn how to write an effective cover letter that emphasizes your value and catches an employer's attention. Make sure to bring a copy of a job description for a role you want to apply for!
