Crack The Hiring Code

AI has made it easier than ever to generate a polished resume and that’s exactly the problem. When every application sounds the same, your personality and specificity become your greatest competitive edge. In this workshop, we move beyond generic templates to give you a practical look at how ATS scanners evaluate your work and, more importantly, what recruiters & hiring managers actually notice when they finally see the human behind the screen.

What to expect:

🌟 Masterclass with Vanessa Rodriguez Garcia, Recruitment Specialist @ Venor

Learn how ATS systems work, what recruiters really look for, best practices of how to get most out of AI to make that first draft and not a final answer. Prompting techniques that preserve your tone and how to fill gaps without fabricating experience.

🌟 Mentorship Pods with Talent Specialists & Hiring Managers

Join domain-specific breakout sessions led by local Halifax tech leaders. These focused pods move beyond the basics to help you master interview articulation, learn the art of storytelling your experience, and understand real-world expectations from the people actually making the hire. Submit your CV in advance to ensure we pair you with the right mentor for your career track.

What to bring:

Your Resume: Bring a printed or soft copy for honest, unfiltered feedback. (Available on a first-come, first-served basis - spots are limited!)

Your Questions: Whether it’s about past interviews, future prep, or general career guidance, our hiring managers are here to help.
