Tackling Career Transitions
March 6 | 12 – 1 p.m. (ET)
Considering a career change, but feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck? It’s not always easy to take the next step on your professional path — taking the mystery out of the process can help get you from where you are to where you want to be.
Week 2 | It’s Not a Formula, It’s a Conversation: Creating an Authentic Resume
March 13 | 12 – 1 p.m. (ET)
The right resume effectively captures your experiences, accomplishments, and can help land your next interview or opportunity. To truly stand out, you need to create a compelling narrative on what matters most: you.
Week 3 | “Kissing Frogs” – Conducting a Job Search
March 20 | 12 – 1 p.m. (ET)
Tired of navigating the swamp of unfulfilling positions? It’s time to rise above the “frogs” of the job market and discover your perfect fit. The search for a new job often comes with a few misses (or “frogs” as we like to call them) before finding the right fit. With a smart strategy and focused energy, you can land the career that’s just right for you.
Week 4 | “Match Game” – Enjoying (Not Just Surviving) the Interview Process
March 27 | 12 – 1 p.m. (ET)
An interview is an exciting and critical step in your job search. With the right knowledge of how to present yourself, this often-stressful process can be enjoyable, informative, and ultimately lead to your “perfect match.”
