Description:
Upwardly Global (www.upwardlyglobal.org) is a nationally recognized nonprofit that helps work authorized, highly-skilled refugees and legal immigrants to escape poverty and secure professional jobs in the U.S.

We are looking for volunteers to assist our jobseekers at the resume and cover letter workshop.

Volunteers attend a short training on how to work with immigrant professionals to create an American-style resume and cover letter. They will then be matched with an immigrant professional to help him/her create a concise, clear polished resume and cover letter. Volunteers will be asked to bring a laptop computer if they have one. If not, a computer will be provided.
