Gettin’ the Call

A cover letter is a brief description of how you are the best fit for the current job offering.

A cover letter follows a certain format: They are always 1 page, and 3-4 paragraphs Paragraph 1: Introduce yourself and the job you want Paragraphs 2-3: Why you? Specify any skills and experience you have that are relevant to the job position or company Why them? Explain why their company is where you would choose to be employed. Paragraph 3: Strong ending, including mention of follow-up

How can your cover letter stand out? What sorts of things should you include? What sorts of things should you exclude? ALWAYS create a cover letter specific to the job you want

Gettin’ the Job

BEFORE Research the company Know the names of the boss/interviewer Dress nicely Practice! Bring your resume/references DURING Arrive early Shake hands / body posture / eye contact Don’t ramble AFTER Thank you note or call to follow-up Self reflect – what can you learn / do differently?

Interviews are a great opportunity to impress your potential employer with your appearance, personality, and experiences. They can also be terrifying. It is important to practice – with a friend, in front of a mirror, to yourself. You must get used to hearing your voice aloud, as well as maintaining a professional and confident body posture. Common Interview Questions Check out the handout. Work with your elbow partner. Interview them, picking at least three questions to ask. Switch and take your turn being interviewed.

You don’t have to just answer questions in an interview. Asking questions of the interviewer can show that You are serious about the job You have done your research about the company You are ambitious and willing to work hard
