Creating a Workplace Culture of Belonging Requires a Broad DEI Lens
2022-11-30 14:00 - 15:00
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are terms used more commonly now than ever. That said, not everyone repeating these terms is consciously implementing behaviors to promote more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments for all.
When we think of DEI, we often think of race and ethnicity. But the real DEI work happens when we also consider aspects like spiritual beliefs, age, gender and gender identity, abilities, and the very personal aspect of acknowledging customs, traditions, and holidays that are important in work environments.
In this webinar, Dr. Damary Bonilla-Rodriguez will highlight the importance of:

Practical and mindful strategies when addressing diversity in the workplace
Being knowledgeable about customs, traditions, and holidays
Viewing DEI through a broader lens

Cover Letter Best Practices
2022-12-28 11:00 - 12:00
Are cover letters really still needed? Yes! And this webinar will show you how to write effective cover letters without spending too much time on them.
Here are some stats that prove cover letters are still necessary: A ResumeLab survey of 200 hiring managers found that 83% of the time, a great cover letter was enough to sway them to extend a job interview to a candidate with a less-than-perfect resume.
A majority of hiring managers said cover letters were crucial to their hiring decisions, and 77% give preference to candidates who submit one, even if they’re deemed optional on the application form. A similar percentage share always expects the document, even if they’re not required in order to apply.
A study by ResumeGo found that applications with cover letters carefully tailored to individual job descriptions yielded over 50% more interviews than job applications submitted without a letter.
In this webinar, a FlexJobs career coach discussed how to write great cover letters for your remote job applications.
