“I got helpful, valuable feedback on my resume that I’ve already started using. The breakout rooms were particularly enjoyable because I got to speak one-on-one with professionals who actually cared about my growth. I plan to improve my networking, set clearer career goals, and stay connected with the mentors I met.”
April Ossai
“The resume keywords session really stood out. I learned how to make my resume eye-catching and focused on what recruiters are looking for. It’s already helping me highlight my strengths more clearly.”
Toyin Raphael
I learned that there is no role that is too high to reach for. The one-on-one breakout room sessions helped me realize that companies want to help — they’re not out of reach. I’m now tailoring my resume to reflect the roles I actually want.
