Vocal, Visible, and Valued: The blueprint to elevate your career.
Keynote presentation: Do you work in an area where often you are the ‘only one’ in the room? Do you seek advice and guidance but there is no one ahead of you to lend you a hand or throw you a rope? Dr. Elizabeth Carter knows this all too well. Her career journey as a minority in a STEM discipline has not been without challenges. When she was surprised with a job elimination notice in 2016, she made it her mission to be that voice and face and lead other ambitious individuals. In this keynote, Dr. Carter will identify what keeps us mute, motionless, and mad and empower us with tools that will allow us to be more visible, vocal, and valued! The objectives of this presentation are: • Identify what keeps us stuck in place. • Illustrate a framework that will allow you to elevate your value. • Evaluate your areas of opportunity • Construct a personal action plan for your elevation. This can also be a workshop with breakouts rooms
Minimize the White Space By Maximizing the Black Ink: 4 Ways to Represent the Underrepresented
When will there be a ‘Life Happens’ section in a resume template? Probably never, which puts many at a disadvantage. There is more focus on the gaps, aka the white spaces on the page, the assumptions of what was happening in the time frames not accounted for, than what is articulated through the black ink of the actual words on the pages. But does the ink display value, contribution, growth, and excellence? Is it enough to override the white spaces such that the employer will extend the opportunity? This is where help is needed. In this session, the audience will learn… • What hiring managers are really thinking when they see gaps in a resume • The challenges many have in articulating value, improvement or transformation in their role • A system to collect F.A.C.T.s that will improve ones’ attractiveness to an employer Presented at the 2021 National Resume Writers Association Conference https://youtu.be/zzctd0nM-wc
