Welcome to This Student Life, a podcast by Student Life and Learning Support at Toronto Metropolitan University highlighting stories about student life beyond academics.
In this episode, we’ll be talking about resumes, cover letters, and the Career Boost program! As students, it can be incredibly intimidating to apply for jobs and internships. You probably have questions about what to say in your cover letter, what should you put on your resume if you don’t have previous work experience, and where you should start with your job search. In this episode, I spoke with Ken, one of the Career Education Specialists at the Career, Co-Op & Student Success Centre to get some tips on resumes, cover letters, and job searching as a student. I also spoke to Ambar, the Career Boost Program Coordinator to learn more about the different job opportunities available to students on campus.
