Rock the Job Search: How to Get Your Dream Job

Identify and undo any obstacles that may be standing in your way of forging a career path that’s truly right for you. Part of the work we’ll do is finding what truly makes you come alive, what your innate strengths are, and ways to think outside the box when it comes to your interests and curiosities.
How to tell your story. That means learning to structure your resume, write a kickass cover letter, and really tailor your LinkedIn profile so that you can attract recruiters and hiring managers. You’re amazing so you need to make sure they know that too.
We’ll address networking in four ways: through social media with a specific focus on LinkedIn, how to do cold outreach, making the most of virtual and in-person events, and how to leverage your current network to connect with new people.
Rock the interview! We’ll go over commonly asked questions, how to let go of your nerves, and how to tell if this is a company that’s a good fit for you (yes, you’re interviewing them too).
