January 12 – Creative Job Search: Identifying Your Skills, Job Applications and Work Portfolios
Can you list the top 5 skills that you can market to a potential employer? If that list doesn’t come to you easily, don’t worry, this session will help you identify what you have to offer, beyond job titles and employment dates. We will also discuss applications and what to put in a portfolio (hint: it’s not just for artists!). This is part of a 6-session series that covers the essentials of the Creative Job Search (CJS) workshop. You can take all six or register for a single workshop at any point in the series.
