Dear BSISers,
Following our “dream job” workshop last week, I would like to remind you of tomorrow`s workshop on CV & Cover letter writing and the business cards deadline TONIGHT.
Please also note that the interview workshop will NOT take place on the 13th of February! Instead, there will be a double workshop on interview and networking skills on the 20th from 15:00-17:00!
Best regards
Mona
Thursday, Feb. 6
CV Enhancement Workshop, Wilson Room 15:00-16:15
A professional CV is the first step towards securing an interview!
Due to large numbers of applications, in response to limited job or internship opportunities, employers pay special attention to the candidate’s first “marketing tool” – their CV. If you would like to polish your CV and give it a competitive edge, whilst still being authentic, feel free to join me this Thursday.
*** Please bring two paper copies of your CV (if you can)!
Cover Letter Writing Workshop, Wilson Room 16:15-17:00
9 out of 10 Cover Letters are considered below average!
Come find out how to make yours belong to the best! After having studied the most compelling cover letters, the workshop highlights strategies which guide the applicant towards making his/her arguments more powerful. Particular importance is given to the verbs/tone/message and the shifting of the writer’s perceptual position (to that of the reader).
