Spring Q&A Overview

  • Highlighting transferable skills from your lived experiences, work, and/or volunteer/unpaid experience, including community advisory board roles and/or involvement in research working groups, fellowship cohorts, residencies, etc

    Building a portfolio of work samples that highlight projects, campaigns, etc related to the positions you’re looking for - look for keywords in the responsibilities and highlight relevant work experience that showcases your aligned experiences

    Curate your resume to each job opportunity - highlight measurable accomplishments most relevant to the positions you’re applying for; don’t just say you did xyz, show them the outcomes of how you doing xyz impacted the overall organization, campaign, hiring goals, etc that you’ve worked with - either via unpaid or paid work experiences

    Make connections between your lived, work, and/or volunteer experience and their work

  • Such a wide variety of platforms - newsletters, listservs, linktrees, Slack, Discord, Signal, etc depending on what you’re looking for

    Workshops, trainings, and certification programs can be helpful for acquiring additional skills in your desired career field

    Fellowship opportunities could also be helpful for professional development (example - BlaqOut Leadership Academy (LEAD) Fellowship Program)
