My name is Jacob, and I am a former social work professor who has reviewed hundreds of résumés and cover letters, and I eventually made a career pivot from academia to entrepreneurship. I began my company, The Versatile Social Worker, to help social workers like you reach their potential. I have seen my clients go from frustration (application after application after application...) to elation in short amounts of time by using simple, proven strategies. In this course, you'll learn exactly what it takes to land your dream job.
In this course you will learn to:
Create a razor-sharp résumé
Craft an expert cover letter
Ace the interview
Maximize your LinkedIn profile
Network like a pro
Win the salary negotiation
All that, PLUS you'll receive 6 templates/resource documents to give you a leg-up in your job search and networking:
Résumé template (x2)
Cover letter template
Template for LinkedIn Connect Requests
Questions to ask in interviews
Questions you'll be asked in interviews
