Webinar Description:
Archivists are skilled at describing collections but often struggle to describe their own accomplishments. In this highly competitive job market, you need to stand out from other candidates, and that starts with confidently expressing your value in the resume and cover letter. If you’ve been applying for roles but are not landing interviews—despite having the right qualifications—then it’s time to revisit your strategy. After attending this presentation, you will be able to:
- Identify the keywords and priorities to emphasize in the resume and cover letter by decoding a job posting.
- Recognize the components of value-based resume language, including accomplishments rather than duties.
- Compare the unique roles of the resume and cover letter.
Who Should Attend:
Archivists at any stage in their career. Active jobseekers as well as those who want to be prepared when the ideal position pops up.
