A "Pitch with a Twist"

Workshop A

A "pitch with a twist" is your chance to grab attention, whether in person, on paper, or across social media. It's a way to highlight your skills, differentiate yourself, and show how you add value to an organization. Your pitch also serves as the foundation for your resume and LinkedIn profile.

Think of your pitch as your "mission statement" — it helps clarify your strengths, preferences, and goals while connecting them to the results you can bring to any organization.

Workshop Outcomes

Identify your strengths, preferences, and goals
Share your talents in an engaging way
Communicate clearly and powerfully
Show how your skills translate into value
Craft a verbal pitch to use in conversation

Networking is Necessary

Networking is all about investing time and effort to build meaningful connections and lasting relationships. Being intentional with who you engage with can make all the difference in opening doors.

Informational interviews are a great way to effectively learn from others and expand your network. Your network isn't just for gathering contacts-it's for connecting, sharing your pitch, and exploring opportunities.

Workshop Outcomes

Communicate your Credentials

Workshop C

Social media is a powerful tool, use it to your advantage! While your resume is a static but essential piece for your career, your social media presence is dynamic and offers more opportunities for engagement. Both are important for showcasing who you are and sparking conversations.

A well-crafted LinkedIn profile, for example, can attract attention with the right content and interactions. We'll also explore tools to update your resume, add hyperlinks, and more.

How FABulous You Are!

Workshop D

The FAB (Features, Accomplishments, Benefits) method is a game-changer for interview prep. Think of an interview as a chance to market yourself-it's all about being prepared with the right info and knowing how to close. Anticipating questions and sharing clear, impactful responses will make you more effective.

We'll also cover the behavioral interview STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Results) to help you "show, not tell." With solid prep, you'll feel more confident, provide stronger answers, and have better conversations. Don't forget to identify and overcome any objections with key closing questions.

Workshop Outcomes

Use the FAB method with STAR to showcase your expertise
Practice clear, concise answers to specific interview questions
Craft strong closing questions and learn how to discuss a full comp package
