In-Person & Virtual Meeting: “RESUMES TELL BUT COVER LETTERS SELL” plus a Round of Networking, a Presentation Recording & List of Registrants

Description

THIS IS A HYBRID EVENT SO ANYONE WHO CANNOT ATTEND IN-PERSON, CAN JOIN VIA A ZOOM LINK FOR THE DURATION OF THE MEETING (a link will be sent to everyone prior to the event).

– 83% of hiring managers say that cover letters are important in their hiring decisions (ResumeLab).

– 68% of companies said a cover letter was important when considering whether or not to interview a candidate (Resume Genius).

– 72% of hiring managers expect applicants to submit a cover letter even if the job posting says it’s optional (ResumeLab).

For these reasons alone, you should be writing cover letters. Because an effective email cover letter does what a resume typically can never do—it enables you to CONTROL THE STORY in a very concise, easy-to-read way. And during this webinar I’ll show you how you can write highly customized cover letters in less than 10 minutes. When written properly, a cover letter immediately connects the dots between your key achievements and the most important requirements of the job. It keeps the reader focused on your unique competencies and what value you bring to that specific position. Additionally, cover letters are very effective at giving you access to the “hidden job market” by getting you interviews with companies that don’t have an advertised position. Quite simply, a cover letter can get you interviews that other job seekers aren’t getting.

Here are a few of the topics that I will cover during my presentation:

– How to write customized cover letters in less than 10 minutes

– How to decipher a job description to identify the most pertinent job requirements

– How cover letters get you interviews even when you’ve been rejected by the ATS

– How a great cover letter can give you access to the “hidden job market”

– How an effective cover letter can separate you from 100-200 other job applicants for each job

– Effective email cover letter examples

The agenda is as follows:
6:00 – 6:15   Open networking
6:15 – 7:30   Presentation and Q&A
7:30-8:30   Smal group networking (those joining virtually will network with others on the Zoom link)

All registrants will also get access to a previous recording on the presentation AND a list of all registrants so that you can quickly grow your network of LinkedIn connections.
