Job hunting is never easy. It's even more difficult to get the job you really want if you don't know how to present yourself as a great match for the job you're going after. You might have the perfect skills and excellent experience, yet not get the job. Why? It's usually because it's not easy for your prospective employer to know this based on the resume you present. This course will teach you how to write powerful, targeted cover letters and resumes that get noticed and moved into the interview pile. Students will also learn the do's and don'ts of using the internet when job hunting, as well as tips and techniques for giving an exceptional interview. All required materials will be provided in class or via online access. If you need a job, or want a better one, this course will give you the competitive edge you need.
By the end of the course, you will have a much stronger resume and cover letter tailored to the job that you hope to land. Also, you'll gain an understanding of how to leverage the power of LinkedIn and other social media to help find and secure your preferred position.
