Career Program Overview

Prior to your first session, you will receive three short, easy to complete assignments, which will be debriefed in the first session. These exercises are designed to spark ideas and help you come prepared for Session One.

As well as the assignments, you will be sent all the course materials for the first session of the job seeking program to read in advance. This includes different resume formats, from which you will choose one that suits your situation, in collaboration with your coach.

Session One : Resume – 1.5 hours

Once you and your coach have reviewed your assignments, work can begin on building your resume. The three major takeaways from this session will be:

  • Debrief pre work
  • A fully formed professional profile, or introduction – a key aspect of your resume
  • At least one completed achievement statement (using the STAR Method – an easy step by step model which makes writing these statements simpler and easier)
  • A resume template to suit your situation.

By the end of this session you will also have enough information to take home and refine what you have started. We will review your resume as we go through the program to ensure that it meets your specific needs. There are different types of resumes for various situations.

 Session Two : LinkedIn Profile – 1 hour

  • How well is your LinkedIn profile working for you?
  • How to optimise your profile
  • How do you build a targeted, professional network?

This session starts with a final review of your resume from session one. Much of this information can be carried across to your LinkedIn profile, which streamlines the process and makes it more effective. Using templates and working within LinkedIn’s best-practice guidelines, you will build your LinkedIn profile and start working on building those vital connections.

Takeaways from this session include:

  1. Your completed, key-word rich professional profile summary
  2. A LinkedIn profile
  3. An understanding of how LinkedIn can work for you
