Since a good cover letter is nearly impossible to write without an actual job description, we’d like you to find an internship (federal government, nonprofit, think tank, congressional office – whatever interests you) and write a cover letter for it. This assignment is designed to get the blood flowing in your job application muscles. Resumes and cover letters are difficult to do, and the old adage of practice makes perfect holds true.
Next week, the Partnership for Public Service is holding two Resume/Cover Letter/Interview workshops in our office, 3103 Susquehanna.
- Tuesday September 29, 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Register here: http://sept29resumecritique.eventbrite.com/
- Friday September 2, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Register here: http://oct2resumecritique.eventbrite.com/
We strongly encourage you to attend. You will get feedback on how to navigate the federal application process and learn how to strengthen your resumes and cover letters even more. Even more, attending one will count as a federal event.
While Priya and Joey are happy to answer any questions, please do NOT e-mail drafts for them to look at. Feel free to make an appointment or stop by during drop in hours and they would be happy to sit down and give you personalized advice.
