Resume / Cover Letter Document Type:
Unless you are a designer and only networking to find a new role, do no use a design tool (i.e. Canva) to draft your resume. The ATS will reject your resume and the chances of the resume being read by a set of "eyeballs" is very very low. Submit your resume in a .docx file (or .pdf if sending to a person or if the interface says "Upload your .PDF here".
Unfair Promotion Practices and Limitation of Opportunities
One of the most fundamental forms of workplace discrimination involves “unfair treatment” because of an employee’s membership in a protected class. This often manifests as disparate treatment in promotions, opportunities, job responsibilities or hours. Common examples of such actions, which are illegal if based on an employee’s protected characteristics, include:
1. Involuntary reduction of hours
2. Assignment to undesirable or less-favorable shifts
3. Reassignment to a different department or location
4. Removal or limitation of job responsibilities
5. Exclusion from meetings or other communications
6. Denial of opportunities to work with certain clients
7. Assignment to less profitable territories
8. Patterns of people in specific groups who receive promotions over equally or more qualified workers
9. Inconsistent or unsupportable reasons given for denial of promotion or exclusion from opportunities

New College Grads - Professional Associations
As you begin your job search, have you conducted your research to find the right professional association? These organizations are great for networking, building your knowledge base and most have an online job board of jobs specific to your career direction. These organizations also have regular meetings (in-person and virtual) and will offer opportunities (classes, seminars) for professional / career development.
Don’t Look for a Perfect Job - It does not exist. If this is your strategy, you are going to be bitterly disappointed. If you feel you are qualified for 60-65% of the requirements (credentials + skills), then apply.
