Here is what the course covers

1. PERSONAL BRANDING - This is fundamentally a personal branding course. Why? Because you already have a personal brand, whether you realize it or not. To succeed you need to carefully and deliberately craft your personal brand.

Learn about what a personal brand is, why it's important to your success, and determine your value proposition. Walk through other successful personal brands before diving straight in by creating your own logo using Canva AI.

Before the end of this section you'll really start getting your hands dirty by building you very own personal brand.

2. RESUMES - You know how your first impression is a lasting one? Well an engaging, informative resume is how you make a great first impression. Your resume is vital for getting you through the initial hurdle and onto the next step, and it needs to be perfect.

No experience? No problem. You'll learn how to highlight your qualities so that you can make it to the next stage of the process even if you lack the necessary experience.

3. COVER LETTERS - You already know all about cover letters, right? Wrong. Your cover letter is a surprisingly complex and important document. It needs to convey a ton of information quickly but in an engaging, straightforward manner. It's an art. But it's an art that you can learn and perfect.

The best part? You're not just going to learn, you're going to do. In this course you'll build your own professional resume and cover letter step-by-step from scratch along the way.

4. SHOWCASE YOUR WORK & CASE STUDIES - Learn about what makes a good candidate stand out from the rest, how to overcome a lack of experience, and even create a case study that demonstrates your value in a unique, professional, and engaging way.

5. BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO WEBSITE - A professional portfolio website will really help you stand out from the pack, no matter what field you're in. This section will teach you to build a stunning portfolio website using tools like Figma, Notion, and Super.

No coding experience? Have no fear! This section will teach you how to build your own portfolio website even if you don't know anything about coding.

6. ACE THE INTERVIEW - So you've nailed the application package and landed the interview...great! But the goal here is to land your dream job, not just make it to the interview.

This course will help prepare you for the interview by teaching you all about different interview styles and how best to prepare for them, including:

  • Behavioral interviews
  • Technical interviews
  • App critique interviews
  • Past work interviews

What's the bottom line?
