    Description

    Employers are busy people and the COVID-19 job market is a challenging one!

    So make your skills and experience stand out with a CV and cover letter that are relevant, professional, chock-full of measurable achievements and easy-on-the-eye. Then back up your applications with an engaging LinkedIn profile that builds your network.

    This workshop-based course will help you identify your career achievements and present them with the metrics (numbers) recruiters love. You’ll also receive templates to help you write your CV and cover letter, and handy tips to help you stand out from the crowd.

    Learning objectives

    At the end of the course you will be able to:

    1. Create a concise, engaging CV that highlights your skills and experience
    2. Identify what you’ve achieved in your career (not just what you’ve done) and put metrics on those achievements
    3. Write a cover letter that matches your skills and experience to what the employer is looking for 
    4. Set up a LinkedIn profile, build your network of contacts, and attract recruiters online.

    What to bring

    A sandwich or packed lunch. We'll provide tea and coffee for breaks. You don't need to bring any materials with you, but come along ready to workshop a past role (i.e. have a role in mind - role name, employer, dates, responsibilities). If you currently have a LinkedIn profile, please bring your login details.
