Showcasing Your Skills 

Resume
Your resume is a great place to highlight the skills you’ve gained from different jobs or life experiences. Focus on what you’re good at and how you’ve used those strengths to make a difference.


Cover Letter
cover letter is optional for many applications. It gives you a chance to tell your story and explain why you're a great fit. Use it to show how your skills match the job—even if your experience is from a different field.

Interview
The interview is your time to shine. Be ready to talk about what you’ve done, how you helped, and what you learned. It’s also a great way to show your communication skills by being clear, confident, and genuine.
