Remake Your Résumé for a New Era
It's time to revamp your credentials. Whether job-searching, career-changing, or happily employed, you need an updated, powerful résumé and LinkedIn profile. The #1 challenge most candidates have is telling their story.
Your résumé is where your story begins. What you write are your messages to your future readers, the hiring team, and your network. It also leads to a compelling LinkedIn profile, so you get called by recruiters!
If you don't know how to make your résumé tell your story or what it should include, this 90-minute virtual session is for you. You will receive a template to build your new messages and precise guidance to write your new résumé quickly.
During this WIT Works webinar you will:
- Learn the anatomy of a résumé and LinkedIn from top to bottom.
- Understand how technology scans your content and how to compete.
- Receive multiple tools, including a résumé template and samples (click HERE for webinar resources)

How to Prepare for Job Interviews Before You Have an Interview
How does that last-minute cramming-for-an-interview work for you? Here’s a secret: you're not alone. The sad part is that you worked hard to secure that interview. However, like the hurdlers in the Olympics, your lack of preparation may cause you to fall on that last hurdle. You will never know you blew the interview, either.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to prepare for all interviews WELL BEFORE you get that great phone call saying, "We want to talk to you." Dana will debunk those myths about sounding too scripted and teach you a process you'll use to ACE your phone, video, or face-to-face interviews. You'll be ready to handle the most commonly asked questions AND be armed with great questions you can ask in the interview.
