Aid Worker Job Search Workshop

Aid Workers: This is for you!

We're all shocked to be unemployed (or soon to be). We all need to improve our pitch, better our resume, and refine our cover letters. Join us for an interactive two-hour hands-on learning session organized by the Career Pivot.

You will:

• Learn how recruiters see your application
• Practice your personal story elevator pitch
• Review your resume with a recruiter's eye
• See what to change on your cover letter

All this learning will make you thirsty!

We have a happy hour directly after this event to make networking easy.

Prerequisites

Please complete these tasks before Wednesday to get the most from this event:

• Have a desired industry and role already indentified
• Find a job you want to have - can be live, or old, but should be real.
• Craft pitch of why you should get the job - future view of what you'll do
• Create a resume for that job - past view of why you're are qualified
• Update you cover letter to be relevant to the industry you seek to enter

What to Bring

Please bring three things with you to the event:

• Print out a job advertisement that excites you.
• Print out your 2-page resume (front and back of 1 page)
• Bring your cover letter that speaks to the job ad

Join the Happy Hour afterwards

Stay after the workshop to join your peers for a relaxing happy hour with DevConnect DC. Be sure to RSVP now!
