Event description
Developing a Visual Resume for Work webinar
In this webinar, we will discuss alternative ways to share with potential employers what a young person can offer in experience, skills and strengths.
This webinar will focus on visual resumes, an alternative to a traditional resume, and show what it is and how others have used it to help find meaningful paid employment in their community.
The webinar covers the key concepts of Visual Resumes:
- what a visual resume is and when it is used
- the key components of a visual resume
- considerations when developing a visual resume
- examples of visual resumes
- creating speaking notes to accompany the visual resume
- how to get started crafting a visual resume of your own.
The content of this webinar has been derived from the work of Marc Gold & Associates. The webinar will include family stories of what is possible and live Q&A.
Even if you are unable to attend on the day, everyone who registers will be sent a copy of the webinar recording after the event that will be available to view for 7 days.
