Get Hired: How to Jumpstart your Job Search | Online

About this event

They say that finding a full-time job is a full-time job. But even if you are putting in the time, do you know if your job search strategy is on point?

This workshop will cover step-by-step strategies to identify great job opportunities that fit your skillset. We’ll share resources to search for job openings in Boston and beyond, and talk about how to read between the lines in those job descriptions.

You’ll learn how to flip the script on your resume and turn it into an effective advertisement, not a boring autobiography. Finally, we’ll discuss how to make cover letters not suck, with tips and tricks to make an easily customizable letter that helps you stand out from the crowd.

We’ll practice all of these skills during the workshop, and you’ll walk away with a resource-rich slide deck to continue your learning.
