Making a career transition can be bewildering: How do you find jobs? How can you stand out as a candidate?

And, if you finally get an interview, how do you showcase yourself as the best candidate? This workshop will walk participants through each step of making a career transition. Through interactive exercises, we will cover strategies in personal branding, networking, résumé, and LinkedIn profiles and job interviewing.
