National EMP Career Workshops:
Crafting Your Cover Letter
Week of Mar. 11-15
Your cover letter is one of most important tools you have in your museum career. Join colleagues and experts for this interactive program as we explore both the structure and content of your cover letter—simultaneously an extension of your resume and a unique communication tool on its own.
Who Should Attend
Aspiring and emerging museum professionals seeking career guidance
How Will I Benefit?
