Tips to Develop Your Brand & Your Career Path - Vol. 2

After over a decade on the job market, I know how career development and personal growth can feel like a maze that is daunting to navigate 🫥. Recently, I had the pleasure of a 2-part series of workshops at McGill University, which focused on providing actionable insights and empowering individuals to create their own career journey.

In the first session, we laid down the tools to shift from merely looking for a job to crafting a fulfilling career strategy. You can read more on my blog here: https://thekaizengal.com/career-journey-insights-workshop-part-1/

Now interviews are coming up and you feel the nerves! That's alright ~ I've got just what you need: https://thekaizengal.com/career-journey-insights-workshop-part-2/

The agenda for the last part of this 2-part series covered 3 topics:

1. Interview confidently

a. Refine your pitch based on the job/interviewer;

b. Pass the first phone (HR) screening;

c. Understand the different types of questions in interviews and craft compelling responses.

2. Negotiate strategically based on what you value!

a. Calculate your total compensation;

b. Negotiation tactics;

3. Work your first impression on the job

a. How to onboard yourself: Your first 100 days;

b. Set the stage for a raise or promotion.

I give you access to my entire talk track for each slide; from the questions I suggested attendees to ponder to guidelines and tips I elaborated on. Interviewing is as much about what you know as it is about how you convey what you know.

Above all, I want you to prepare adequately so that you feel confident in your approach. It won't be perfect but it will authentic.

Preparation meets opportunity = success!
