Aug 12 Workshop: Your Professional Brand – From Resume to Interview



Your Professional Brand – From Resume to Interview

 

A hands on workshop focused on building your personal brand – from resume to interview to social media and beyond.

 

Your professional brand is the “great differentiator” in the job search. Your professional brand showcases your strengths, experiences and expertise.  Professional branding in resumes influences hiring decision makers to interview you and ultimately hire you.

In this interaction seminar (lead by Tom Colosimo & Kurt Thompson) you will learn the following:

  • How to identify and build professional brand
  • How to craft a resume that showcases your professional brand
  • How to continue this message through the interview process

Please be prepared to learn and participate in this session – and recommend that you bring examples of your current resume, collateral and other branding materials for review and discussion.

At the end of the evening, you will leave with a deeper understanding of how to build up your own personal value proposition and brand, as well as map out a plan designed to help you secure your next dream job!
