We will explore:
 Identifying Your Strengths
We will begin our time together and ground the experience using the inventory called "StrengthsQuest". Through this process you will discover your unique blend of natural talents you bring to everything you do.

Clarifying Your Vision
Finding your ideal job is much easier when you've clarified what you're looking for! This session will help you clarify your job search vision and find inspiration for your journey.

Cover Letters and Resumes
We will review the common myths and mistakes of resume and cover letter writing and discover how to bring your personal narrative into these job search tools.

Networking and Tapping into the Hidden Job Market
If over 70% of Colorado jobs are never posted, how do you find these "hidden" jobs? We'll discuss and brainstorm approaches to widening your job search beyond Craigslist! We'll discuss networking and what this really looks like and discover how to
network genuinely and authentically.

Interviewing Skills
Do you remember those Warrior Exams, being required to be in the moment and speak on your feet? Explore how your Naropa education provides an excellent foundation to support your interview process. We'll discuss how to respond to typical interview questions, and then, practice...practice...practice!
