Getting back into the workforce? Trying to land a summer job? The Iowa City Public Library’s classes for adults will focus on resume and cover letter skills in June.
The library will kick off the month with LinkedIn for Beginners. Learn the basics by creating a LinkedIn profile, adding new contacts, joining groups, and searching for jobs. This class will be taught at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 6, and again at 5 p.m. Monday, May 29.
Unsure of how to begin writing a resume? Join us at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, for Writing your Resume, a how-to on getting started. A librarian will give you helpful brainstorming tips for thinking about the content of your resume and provide methods to organize it after the brainstorming process.
At 10 a.m. on Friday, June 19, learn what a successful resume should look like by registering for the Overview of Resumes & Cover Letters. We will review the different types of resume sand discuss tips and tricks for catching an employer’s eye.
All classes for adults are held in the Library’s Computer Lab on the second floor. Classes are free, but space is limited to 10 people per program, so patrons should register early.
