The Art of the Cover Letter
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Beneski Earth Sciences Building, Paino Lecture Hall
Cover letters are an important part of the internship application process; they turn the dry facts of your resume into an engaging story that captures recruiters attention. This workshop will teach you the elements of a great cover letter and will give you the chance to practice crafting your own. This is a hands on workshop. Attendees are asked to bring sample internship or job descriptions along with their laptops.
*This workshop will fulfill the Internship Preparation Workshop requirement for the Amherst Select Internship Program.
