Positioning Yourself for a Career Change, Part 2: The Nuts and Bolts of Career Change
Presenter: Kirsten Elling, Associate Director for Counseling, Programs & Services
This program is the second in a two-part workshop addressing job and career transition. Participants will explore a full trajectory from the initial “I want to make a change,” through identifying potential paths, and on to the tangible pieces of applying for positions.
Program Audience:
• Experienced professionals transitioning into different fields
• Students whose current focus and goals are different than their previous job experience and/or degree might suggest
• Employees seeking a different role in their current industry
• Anyone else considering “shaking things up” in the job-related sphere
Part 2: The Nuts and Bolts of Career Change (Tuesday, November 1, 2:30pm-4:30pm)
The second session will focus on marketing oneself well to potential employers. Participants will work to describe their transferable skills and previous experience using powerful and persuasive language. Specifically, we will work on cover letter and resume language and structure.
