Overview
Presenting yourself for opportunities is a key career development skill. The most suitable person for a role unfortunately doesn’t always gain an interview, especially if they aren't aware of how to articulate their message. You will learn how to best describe how you match the requirements of the available position.
Give yourself the best chance by knowing the essentials of contemporary application strategies.
This virtual, live workshop includes how to produce a great application (cover letter and targeted resume) plus tips on addressing selection criteria.
