Friday, September 18 12:00pm – 12:45pm

Do you struggle with what to say in your cover letters? Is it hard for you to market yourself? Do you feel like you are just repeating your resume and throwing in a few cliché's? Come learn the art of the persuasive cover letter. Bring your laptop and an example of a position you would like to apply for. Following a brief presentation, we will get to work and counselors will circulate to help you with your own work. Leave with a more polished draft and set up individual appointments as necessary to complete the process. To RSVP your spot for this workshop, go into ROSCOE Events at your earliest convenience!
