AAPHA invites all students to participate in a resume and cover letter building workshop on Tuesday, February 18 at 3:00 PM in 1655 SPH I, led by Shelagh Saenz, Director of Career Development. RSVP for the "Build an Effective Resume and Cover Letter" workshop through Career Connection.

Resumes and cover letters are important tools in the job search. However, students sometimes have more difficulty in writing their resume and cover letter due to formatting, lack of experience, or English being a second language.

This workshop will address:

- Practical tips for strengthening applications for job, research fellowships, and internships
- Additional tips for international students applying to domestic positions.

Please bring a copy of your cover letter and resume.
RSVP for the "Build an Effective Resume and Cover Letter" workshop through Career Connection. Email [email protected] with questions.
