The cover letter is one of the most challenging documents you may ever write: you must write about yourself without sounding selfish and self-centered. The solution to this is to explain how your values and goals align with theprospective organization's and to discuss how your experience will fulfill the job requirements. Before we get to content, however, you need to know how to format your cover letter in a professional manner..

No worries, we designed an experience just for you.

During this workshop we hope to...
- cover importance (not necessity) of a Cover Letter
- walk youthrough what goes in a Cover Letter
