What You Will Learn?

  • It's a catch-22: You need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience! What do you do when you're just starting out? Whether you're a student looking for their first internship, a new grad who has been focused on school, or someone with an existing career looking to break into a new industry, the challenge is daunting..
  • In the first part of the class we're going to examine the experience that you already have.  I'll teach you to see your experience as a volunteer, at school, and in your hobbies as valid, job-ready things that employers are looking for.  In the second half of the course we're going to look at how to put these ideas into practice to craft a killer cover letter, write a resume that gets you noticed, and nail the interview to get you the job..
  • This class is excellent for students looking to write a cover letter for a job application without experience, or writing resumes that get noticed.  We'll talk about:.
  • - How to write a cover letter that people pay attention to - even if you have no experience to write about!.
  • - Resume writing tips, and resume examples, that can help you even if you are changing careers or just graduated.
  • - Interview questions and answers, and how to respond to common interview questions that you may see as you try to secure that job.
  • So join me to learn the basics of job applications, especially if you have no experience!.
