The Skyline College International Student Program (ISP) and Career Readiness & Job Placement Hub held the Resume & Cover Letter Workshop for international students on December 2, 2020. This event was set up with the intention of informing international students about the importance of resume and cover letters and how they are practiced in the U.S. culture. It was an eye-opening experience for international students in attendance because the employment practices are very different from what they knew from their home countries. Alexa Moore and Renee Liang from the Career Readiness and Job Placement Hub have also introduced a wide variety of services and resources designed to assist students in landing their dream job and to meet their individual career and employment goals. The event was very informative and students received information and resources that will be very beneficial in the rest of their college careers.
ISP will continue to conduct events and workshops to improve the services offered to its students and the entire Skyline College community. If you are interested in learning more about future ISP programs and events, contact ISP office at skyinternational@smccd.edu.
