Public Speaking & Programming
IMPORTANT: I will do not be doing live, in-person programs in 2020. Due to limited scheduling, I am only offering job hunting classes as pre-recorded videos at this time.
Want to book me to speak at your library? I do programs for teens, 20s/30s, and general adult audiences as well as staff training for libraries. I am also available to provide webinars. View my upcoming and past events.
I have significant programming experience that I'm prepared to put to work to make your event a success! Below is a list of program topics I have ready to present. If something here interests you, or you want to pitch me an idea, please visit the contact page or email me.

Job Hunting Programs
Cover Letters Made Simple
In this class, your patrons will learn how to write a standout cover letter employers will want to read. Cover letters are the part of the job hunting process that causes the most amount of confusion for job hunters and can be what determines whether a candidate gets an interview. Students will learn how to craft a cover letter unique to them that complements the resume and makes an elevator pitch, but doesn't come off as either too proud or too weak.

Interviews: Ace Your In-Person Interview
Learn how to wow an employer at your interview. This class covers the before, during, and after of the most crucial part of the job hunting process.

Interviews: No Stress Skype and Phone Interviews
Skype and phone interviews can be just as stressful as an in-person interview, but involve more difficult circumstances that can help or hurt your case to move on in the job hunting process. In this class, I help students learn the differences between types of interviews and how to prepare for them, as well as tips on best presenting yourself when you're not actually in the room.

Resume Workshop
My step-by-step resume guide has been shared over 15,000 times online. In this 90-minute class, I break down the essential parts of the resume and help students create a document that is unique to their skills, experience, and goals. I'll cover how to determine which format is right for you; making your work experience strong, yet succinct; highlighting your skills; avoiding common mistakes; and how to overcome issues like work gaps or age discrimination. This program is suited for all ages of adults, but I also offer a version specific to high school and college students.
