Your Career Story, Rewritten: Resumes, LinkedIn & Cover Letters That Work
Presenter: Simone Pemberton (ProWorkz Career Services)
Your experience matters—but how you tell your career story is what opens doors. As more professionals navigate career transitions—especially those shifting from federal roles to the private sector—knowing how to translate your value in a way that resonates with today’s hiring managers is key.
This webinar will walk you through the three essential tools of a strong job search: a private-sector-ready resume, an optimized LinkedIn profile, and a cover letter that actually gets read. We’ll go over how to reframe government-focused language, showcase your impact, and present yourself as the high-performing, results-oriented candidate employers are looking for. And while federal-to-private transitions are a key focus, the strategies shared are useful for anyone ready to update their materials and stand out in a competitive job market.
Whether you’re responding to workforce shifts or proactively planning your next move, you’ll leave with clear, actionable tips to confidently tell your story.
