Tools for Change: Effective Ways to Update your Application Materials

Your resume and cover letter are more important than ever. We will talk about the most effective formats for the local market, what information to include, and how your application materials can be used to demonstrate your potential. Participants will develop a strong opening cover letter sentence to catch an employer’s attention in a positive way, gain an understanding of how quickly resumes are assessed, and will be provided with resource information for updating their application materials.

Presented by Paulette Johnston, a program manager in co-operative education at SFU and continuing studies instructor at UBC, who has facilitated numerous workshops on career related topics.
