Resumes Tell but Cover Letters Sell, with Marty Gilbert

Please join us for the online Zoom meeting. RSVP is open until Thursday 5 PM ET. Upon registration, you will receive the Zoom link for the meeting here in MeetUp.
Event Description:
Resumes present a great deal of job seeker background that’s often never read very carefully for two reasons:

• Many companies rely on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to identify candidates to consider for interviews.
• Most resumes contain so much content that they don’t immediately capture the reader’s interest and consequently only get 6-10 seconds of read time.
• But what if you could write a highly tailored cover letter in 10 minutes—would that be of interest to you?
  An effective email cover letter does what a resume typically can never do—it enables you to CONTROL THE STORY. It concisely connects the dots between your key achievements and the most important requirements of the job.

NSENG Founder/CEO and Job Search Coach Marty Gilbert will present tactics that you can apply to raise your visibility and capture more interviews with companies that are of interest to you.
Marty will cover:
• How to decipher a job description to address the most pertinent issues
• How to write customized cover letters in less than 10 minutes
• How a great cover letter can get you access to the “hidden job market”
• How an effective cover letter can separate you from 100 other job applicants
