A BE Mindset Matters 101
Mindset matters and in fact, mindset is everything. Before we aim and search for your career dreams, let’s chat foundations. This is what you need to cultivate awareness + declutter your mind, moving forward with clarity + confidence.
BE Job Search Smart 101
A high-quality job search might seem a bit more complex than what you’re used to … at first! But once you know the secrets (best practice strategies + resources, self care tools + a resume secret!), so much more falls into play—including finding a higher quality fit. And quality fit is what BE Career Development is all about.
BE Resume Ready 101
Resume writing is an acquired skill. There’s no doubt about that. No one—no one—is naturally good at resume writing and no AI is enough to write it for you. You need to learn the basics 1st, the why behind these, and some quality tips … in order to market yourself effectively for that quality fit.
BE Networking with Ease 101
Networking is not a 4-letter word. Simple healthy reframes and easy tips + tricks make networking less of a barrier and more empowering for you. Get a head start by taking Intro to Job Search! We begin a very simple, yet substantial practice.
BE Interview + Negotiation Ready 101
Did you know the interview is simply a conversation? Yes! Between 2 or more like-minded professionals coming together to discuss a common goal. Applying this mindset to make it work for you, and more interviewing basics, is how we start.
