Addabbo, Pheffer Amato & Queens Chamber of Commerce present free resume writing and interview skills virtual workshop

With thousands of New Yorkers still out of work due to the Coronavirus pandemic, New York State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is partnering with Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato and the Queens Chamber of Commerce to bring a virtual resume building webinar event to help constituents prepare to re-enter the workforce.

On Wednesday, October 7, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., the free Resume Writing and Interview Skills Virtual Workshop will take place on Zoom for those that register. This workshop will focus on building up the skills needed for writing a resume, cover letter, and other aspects to land and then succeed at a potential interview.

This webinar will cover:

• How to write an attractive resume;
• How to expand on your work history;
• How to include keywords that your employers in your field are looking for;
• How to incorporate what you learned from your experiences into your resume;
• How to dress, behave, and answer during an interview (both physically and virtually);
• The Dos and Don'ts of an interview.

“Having a clean and concise resume and cover letter could mean the difference between landing a job and missing out on a great opportunity. And as we continue to adjust to a post-COVID world, learning virtual interview skills is a must,” Addabbo said. “I am hopeful that this event will help those looking for work gain the necessary skills to find employment during these trying times, especially ahead of my scheduled Virtual Job Fair event later in October. That is why I am proud to coordinate with Assemblywoman Pheffer Amato and the great team at Queens Chamber of Commerce to bring this webinar event to the people.”

“With great financial instability and a difficult job market due to the pandemic, it is so important to give every job seeker the tools to capitalize on every opportunity,” Pheffer Amato said. “By providing resume building, cover letter, and interview skills we are hoping to do our part to help hard working people get back on their feet as they look for a new job. I am proud to coordinate this event with Senator Addabbo and the Queens Chamber of Commerce to give our constituents a chance to learn new skills that could make the difference when applying for a job.”

“With thousands and thousands of Queens residents unemployed due to the COVID, we have a moral imperative to get them ready for their next opportunity and we are very happy to partner with such forward thinking and business savvy elected officials such as NYS Senator Joseph Addabbo and NYS Assemblywomen Stacey Pheffer-Amato,” said Thomas J. Grech, President & CEO, of the Queens Chamber of Commerce. “Our team is ready to facilitate the restart of our economy and we thank Senator Addabbo and Assemblywoman Pheffer-Amato for their support.”
