If you’re going in for an interview, here are five ways to leave a lasting impression on the people who matter:

Career Tip: Write a Professional Bio

When I was in school, I never really thought much about what my professional bio would say. Up until now, I never really needed one. Aside from the short blurb on my Twitter page (where I went to college, what I do for a living, what kind of food I like), I didn’t have a reason to write anything about myself and my accomplishments. When I started my job at JWU and was finally asked to write a short bio, I had no idea where to start because I didn’t know what the vibe was. Should it be long, formal and resume-like or should I include my love for social media and my cat?

It is important to take responsibility for your messages, especially if you’re sending them through a company email server.

Here are eight ways you can improve your email etiquette and ensure you’re using this ever-changing tool correctly:

Anatomy of a Cover Letter: Three Things to Know About Targeted Letters

When searching for a job, you need to think about more than just your resume. The cover letter completes your self-marketing job search package. The purpose of a cover letter is to provide potential employers with additional information about your skills, abilities, and experience — and tell them why you are uniquely qualified for the job. A well-written cover letter showcases your communication skills, is concise, and does not use overly formal language. When crafting your letter, there are three types to consider.
