Are you hoping to advance your career and wondering how to market yourself? Has it been a while since you updated your resume? Do you wish you could know what hiring managers and recruiters are really looking for in your cover letters and resume? And what’s the deal with that one-page-resume rule? Is that legit?

We hope to address these questions and more, help you dust off that resume, and get you on the path to the career you really want.

Join EPIPDC for a workshop all about resumes and cover letters with recruiters from Careers in Nonprofits and Arabella Advisors.
