Participant Feedback - Design Your Life for Take Charge Mentees

I had a wonderful time designing and running this session for the mentees of Take Charge 5 i.e. Fifth Batch.  The participants comprised of those on the cusp of graduation, as well as those who were already employed in some capacity.

They went through various exercises focused on enabling them to think about how they want to build their future, understand the values that drive them, consider the personal brand that they want to build for themselves, take steps to understand their strengths and to navigate the helpfully harmful advice that will come their way.

Here are some pictures of what happened.

And here's some of the things that stayed with them by the end of the day.

Thanks to the people at Take Charge (Cheryl / Andre / Jessica) for giving me the opportunity to contribute my knowledge and experience.  

Webinar - Sell Yourself into Your Next Job on 30 May 2020

Use this lockdown time to redo your #resume and prepare for your #interview based on your #strengths. Register for this highly interactive and reflective #webinar on 30 May 2020 that will change the way you think about presenting your candidature in your resume and in your interviews.

Why this webinar is needed -

The job market is terribly crowded, especially with the COVID 19 layoffs. Resumes are flooding the recruiters tables. There's a paucity of time to read through every resume, and as a result, they skim through the pile of resumes, trying to shortlist as quickly as possible. Now, if you happen to have a standardised template for your resume, it's extremely difficult for it to standout from the others, especially in a short time frame.

So you need to make your resume talk about you, come alive to the reader of your resume so that you get shortlisted for an interview. After this, you also need to prepare for this interview so that you create "Recall Value" in the mind of the interviewers, even if you don't get the job. It helps build your reputation. To know more about "Recall Value", please read my article here.

In this webinar you will learn to create a resume that you will be proud of, as well as prepare for interviews based on your personal strengths. We will also have a specific Q&A session focused on Interview Tips. What you will learn specifically
• How your strengths can make your resume stand out
• Strengthening your Lead letter so that the recruiter prioritizes your interview.
• Video Interviews.
• Tackling tricky Interview Questions
• Creating “Recall Value” during your interview
