Queericulum Vitae – Empower Your Career on Purple Friday!
We would like to invite you to Queericulum Vitae—an empowering session dedicated to owning your story and confidently entering the workforce. Whether you are a student exploring career paths or just starting out in your profession, Academia@WorkplacePride, Young@WorkplacePride, and Student Pride are here to help prepare for and navigate the job market.
This event will dive into important questions like: Should you highlight your role in a queer student association on your CV or “straighten up” your resume? How much weight should a company’s LGBTIQ+ policies carry when choosing where to apply?
Join us for an afternoon of practical training to prepare you for the job market, an inspiring panel discussion, and a chance to capture a fresh LinkedIn profile photo. Let us make your Queericulum Vitae stand out and get you career-ready with pride!
