The Legal Outreach Professional Development Program in conjunction with the ACC-NYC and Legal at CHANEL Present: Professional Workforce Development Workshop

About This Volunteer Opportunity:

In partnership with Legal at CHANEL, we are welcoming graduating high school seniors to the Chanel Corporate office to help them prepare for  their summer jobs and internships. The Legal Outreach educational program serves low-income, mostly minority, and/or first generation urban youth from underserved neighborhoods in New York City.

Volunteers will work with students 1-to-1 on topics such as:

• Creating a Targeted Resume: Students will learn the dos and don’ts of developing a resume that will be attractive to potential employers. Students will be able to create their own standout resumes after reviewing sample resumes and receiving tips for highlighting their skills from facilitators.
• Writing a Compelling Cover Letter: Students will learn how to craft cover letters that will gain the attention of potential employers. They will review examples of various cover letters to understand the structure and how to clearly and concisely demonstrate in writing that their skills are a match for a company’s needs.
• Preparing for the Interview and Follow Through: Students will learn the steps to preparing for an interview and how to place themselves in the best position to receive a job offer through post-interview follow-up.

Refreshments will be served.
