Curriculum Vitae (CV)/Resume
About the workshop:
Did you know the average person spends less than 10 seconds reviewing a Curriculum Vitae (CV)/Resume before deciding if you’re added to the interview list?

While it helps, you don’t need to have the gift of gab or irresistible charisma to have a rockstar interview. What you do need, is a strategic preparation process. This workshop covers strategies to be used before, during, and after the interview! Confidence boost guaranteed.

Navigating Majority Spaces as a Minority
About the workshop:
Being a minority in a majority setting can be a challenging and secluded experience. It’s hard to celebrate and embrace our achievements when we struggle with confidence, a sense-of belonging, and feel unprepared for the next step. This mindset can impact grades, the ability to effectively communicate with others, and also how we perceive our chances for future victories. We teach effective strategies to manage and respond to less-than-ideal experiences as a minority in these environments.
