Storytelling for Career Exploration
In this “Tell Me About Yourself” workshop, career explorers deepen their exploration of self and of future opportunities through the process of discovering and telling stories. Participants will engage in a multi-step process of collecting, choosing, and crafting the stories most relevant to their professional identity, in order to surface insights about their past experiences, as well as patterns in their skills, interests, and values that can inform their future career choices. By identifying and exchanging stories, participants articulate transferable skills, practice verbal communication to improve informational interviewing experiences, and expand their imagination of what’s possible by listening to the stories of others.
