You have probably seen a few job descriptions before where your thought “wow, this is the perfect job for me” and then wondered: How can I prove that I’m a good fit for the job?

After the session, you will have one cover letter in hand that is (almost) ready to be sent out and you will have learned an easy repeatable process for all future cover letters.

Contents:

•    Analyzing job descriptions
