Job Hunting Programs
Cover Letters Made Simple
In this class, your patrons will learn how to write a standout cover letter employers will want to read. Cover letters are the part of the job hunting process that causes the most amount of confusion for job hunters and can be what determines whether a candidate gets an interview. Students will learn how to craft a cover letter unique to them that complements the resume and makes an elevator pitch, but doesn't come off as either too proud or too weak.

Interviews: No Stress Skype and Phone Interviews
Skype and phone interviews can be just as stressful as an in-person interview, but involve more difficult circumstances that can help or hurt your case to move on in the job hunting process. In this class, I help students learn the differences between types of interviews and how to prepare for them, as well as tips on best presenting yourself when you're not actually in the room.

Resume Workshop
My step-by-step resume guide has been shared over 15,000 times online. In this 90-minute class, I break down the essential parts of the resume and help students create a document that is unique to their skills, experience, and goals. I'll cover how to determine which format is right for you; making your work experience strong, yet succinct; highlighting your skills; avoiding common mistakes; and how to overcome issues like work gaps or age discrimination. This program is suited for all ages of adults, but I also offer a version specific to high school and college students.
