Cover Letters: Crafting Compelling Correspondence, October 31, 12:30-1:30pm, UCC210
Your cover letter is NOT simply your resume presented in a slightly different format. Crafting a compelling cover letter to a job application can often be the reason your resume gets reviewed at all while also ultimately affecting an organization's decision to select you as one of a limited number of candidates to interview (out of a larger pool of "qualified" individuals) You can view more details about recruiting and career events at connect.uwo.ca/events
Yes, it absolutely takes time to create a compelling cover letter and yes, it's worth it. Join this workshop to discuss the importance of a compelling cover letter, what defines such a document and how you can design the document so that you can separate yourself from other applicants (in a positive manner) and increase your chances of moving forward in the recruiting process.
