Jobs for Youth-Resume & Cover Letter

We are excited to be partnering with San Mateo County Jobs for Youth to offer six virtual, one hour workshops on Wednesdays starting October 7! Exclusive to youth 14-21 who reside in San Mateo County. We recommend that youth take these workshops in sequence.

During Jobs for Youth workshops, youth learn how to communicate more effectively, network, master the job application process, and interview effectively. We also teach youth how to succeed at a new position and how to leave a job respectfully. All workshops are based on our proprietary curriculum and use our fun, engaging workbooks.

Resume & Cover Letter
This workshop builds on the material covered in the Job Searching & Master Job Application workshop. We cover the structure of effective resumes and cover letters, dissecting a resume with youth and providing tips on making resumes shine. We explore the different types of resume layouts and learn the importance of customizing resumes. We also discuss professional references, thank you letters, and the value of networking. We introduce O*NET, a resource for exploring occupations.
