From Practicum Placement to Job Offer: Social Work Resumes and Cover Letters That Stand Out
Event Overview
Whether you’re applying for a practicum, internship, or full-time role, your resume and cover letter should reflect both your experience and your voice. This workshop will help social work students and emerging professionals create application materials that clearly communicate their strengths and connect with what employers are looking for. Participants will learn how to highlight field placements, volunteer work, case management, advocacy, and experience working with diverse populations while tailoring materials to clinical, community, school, healthcare, nonprofit, and policy settings.
Led by Ranym Nenneh, a higher education professional, Career Advisor, and Certified Social Worker, this session combines practical strategies with a social work lens on career development. Ranym specializes in helping students translate academic experiences, field-based learning, service work, and personal strengths into clear, compelling professional materials that support meaningful careers in the helping professions.
