This class is about exploring your curiosity, discovering your purpose and working on a plan of action to live it. In particular, one way to explore your curiosity and live your purpose is to pursue an internship that will be meaningful to you, and our class will help you develop skills and tools to navigate your step-by-step plan of action.
This mini course will provide you with a pocket of time to think about your interests, strengths, goals and passions, and develop concrete, practical skills that will allow you to pursue them. Furthermore, you will learn how to:
- articulate your personal brand and how to tell your unique story;
- network globally, using a four-step framework;
- write your resume and cover letters and how to maximize your LinkedIn profile;
- find a company whose mission matches yours;
- find and ask for opportunities, including internships.
I look forward to having you in our class, and helping you pursue your purpose and goals!
