Resumes and cover letters are application materials that can make or break your chances of being seen as a qualified candidate for a position that you may be applying for. Resumes provide a tailored overview of your most relevant experiences and skills while cover letters give you the opportunity to articulate your enthusiasm for an organization and share why you are a good fit for an opportunity. This workshop will help you start or revise these documents to create an application that efficiently showcases how your experiences and skills make you a competitive candidate for the positions that you're applying for. This program develops the following UGA Institutional Competencies: Communication and Critical Thinking.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Identify resources that you have access to through the Career Center and apply your preferred formatting choices to your resume and cover letter for an updated presentation of your experiences.
- Construct a bullet point to describe the details of your skills and accomplishments.
- Outline a cover letter by identifying each paragraph's purpose and structure.
