Tired of the same old job-hunting advice? Join us for A Nerdy Approach to Job Seeking, a program that links your favorite geeky passions with practical professional skills.
Think of it this way:
Dungeons & Dragons isn’t just about rolling dice; it’s about mastering professional communication, forming a party (or network), and crafting a character (your personal brand) to overcome any challenge.
Backpack Hero isn’t just a fun inventory game; it’s a perfect metaphor for personal inventory management (skills and experiences) and strategically organizing your gear (resume and portfolio) for maximum impact.
These are just 2 of the great properties we will use to examine our professional skills in this nerdy workshop.
We’ll use these nerdy properties as a fun and engaging way to explore essential job-seeking topics like networking, personal branding, resume building, and interviewing. This isn’t a lecture—it’s an adventure!
Plus, there will be Lunch, snacks, and giveaways to fuel your quest. So grab your character sheet and get ready to level up your career!
