Have you ever heard of people not needing a resume to secure their next job? Yes, it happens! While it's always ideal to have one, if you network well, sometimes you don't need a resume to secure that first call. Sometimes, you know about a role before it opens up to the public. There are so many benefits of networking to do your job search. In fact, after the first recruiting internship, Jee's never had to submit a resume to secure her first interview, so she can tell you first-hand, it works.

Are you not sure how to connect with someone you've never crossed paths with? This workshop will give you an idea of how to reach out to those people. You don't have to be job searching to gain from this workshop.

Program Overview

Left a career to raise children and got the itch to go back to work? Determining if you are ready to re-enter the workforce can be difficult. You need to find a new career, make sure your skills are current and adjust your life to a big change. One important, but often underestimated, thing you need to prepare is your mindset. A lot of mothers suffer low confidence as they head back to the office.

Getting into positive mindset about yourself and about returning to work is crucial to achieve your carer goal. Please join us on March 13th, 2021, at 10 AM (PST) / 1 PM (EST) to talk about how to connect your motherhood to your future career.

In this workshop, we will focus how to embrace the career gap left in your resume and recognize what you are taking back to work with you. You will find the many ways in which motherhood have taught you to become a stronger person.
