Why Take This Course?
We don’t have to tell you that the job market right now is punishing. If you’re lucky enough to get past the applicant tracking hatchet, then you still need to find a way to stand out from the other gazillion candidates.

Perhaps you’re thinking, isn’t it enough just to be a capable designer, writer, or marketer? The unfortunate answer is “sorry!” Your ability to spin a memorable, compelling story in your resume, portfolio, and, of course, in an interview could spell the difference between an offer and ghosting.

That is where the art and skill of being an expert storyteller can truly make a difference. Like a hook for a Hollywood blockbuster, the story of YOU needs to be distinct, cohesive, and intriguing enough to have that hiring manager or recruiter wanting to hear more.

Will you learn how to craft the perfect personal story in our hour-plus together? Probably not. But we’ll get your wheels turning and suggest some resources you can use as you’re getting your story together.
