Strategy = Business Acumen

Resume and Interviewing Strategies That Position You Well - The Brand Called YOU

 
Forging a career path is fraught with challenges, upheavals, and uncertainties!  Now imagine trying to change careers during the largest unemployment since the great depression. The conventional wisdom is to stick to your career path, stick to your core strengths and try to survive it. But then....... you are not conventional;😲you are vibrant and see hope where another sees hopelessness and despair, you break the mold and toss it out, you're confident in your ability and you want to take your past experiences and use them to help make the next move. Come join us, and explore this path to taking the challenge of your life and succeed in career transition.

You will learn the three most important aspects of this session:
  1. Your Skills Inventory  - Explore soft skills, communication, leadership & skills that you can add onto your tool-belt
  2. Build Your Personal Brand - How to present yourself and the 30-second elevator pitch for that valuable first impression.
  3. It is a Process - Continuous personal and professional growth, seeking mentorship, and not afraid to fail forward.
