SES Employment Series in partnership with your SA!

January 13, 2021

All warmed up for the rest of 2021? Red River College’s Student Employment Services is running a series of employment sessions in partnership with the RRC Students’ Association this January,  focusing on two self-marketing tools – resumes and cover letters! You have a choice between noon-hour and evening sessions.

And, wait for it… there’s prizes involved. The PREP-peroni Trivia is back!

Resumes: What Employers Want

Having a professional resume can greatly improve the chances of getting the interview. In this presentation, students will obtain information on how to create an effective resume that highlights their skills, is tailored to their target industry, and gets them screened in to the interview!

Cover Letters: What Employers Want

Do employers even want cover letters? Yes! Submitting a convincing cover letter to accompany a resume is an important part of the application process. In this presentation, students will learn what a professional cover letter looks like – a cover letter that an employer will actually read!
