Making an impression on a potential employer starts long before an email or phone call. By then, your digital footprint has done the talking … don’t let it send someone walking.
“Career Connection: Defining your digital footprint” is a free weeklong series of hands-on workshops presented by The National Press Club Journalism Institute to help you create and maintain the journalism/writing identity you want to showcase to sources, employers, and publishers.
The class will meet from noon to 1 p.m. ET daily, from Monday, May 10 to Friday, May 14. Designed to focus on accomplishing practical tasks in short bursts, each daily program will highlight parts of your digital identity – Twitter, LinkedIn, and your resume. You’ll receive specific instructions and follow along by building and shaping your digital profiles in real-time. Monday’s keynote panel will give you insight into what hiring managers are looking for in great applicants.
Whether you’re a longtime professional looking to invigorate your digital connections or a new writer hoping to establish a foothold in the industry, you’ll leave this series of daily workshops with a refreshed outlook on the tools and content strategies that will set you apart.
Register for one or all programs, which are available at no cost. Registration includes access to the video recordings and resources referenced in all sessions.
