CAREER DISCOVERY

Before we dive in, the team needs to know what you're aiming for so we can start looking for jobs in your direction. Be specific where you can — and "still figuring it out" is a totally valid answer too.

Be as specific as you can. "Nurse" beats "healthcare." "Welder" beats "trades." If you're not sure, name the closest thing you've been curious about.
If you'd be happy in more than one, list a few. Separated by commas is fine.
Be real — what is it about this kind of work that fits you? Helps your team match you with the right opportunities.
Jobs, internships, volunteering, side hustles, helping family — list whatever you've done.
Full-time or part-time? Have a car or rely on the bus? Hours you can't work because of family/school? This is how your team finds jobs that actually fit your life.

SKIT SHOWDOWN

Real workplaces have real drama. Check out these three scenarios and pick what you'd do. There's always a better way to handle things — let's find it.

☕

The Late Arrival

📍 Local Coffee Shop — 8:07 AM
Marcus just started his first job at a coffee shop. He overslept and shows up 7 minutes late. His manager, Ms. Torres, is standing at the register looking stressed. Marcus just walks in, ties his apron, and says nothing — hoping she didn't notice.
What should Marcus have done?
📋

The Confusing Task

📍 Office Supply Store — 2:30 PM
Destiny's supervisor asks her to "reorganize the back inventory by category before close." Destiny has no idea what that means — she's never done it before. She doesn't want to look dumb, so she starts moving boxes around randomly, hoping it looks right.
What should Destiny have done?
👥

The Team Conflict

📍 Community Center — 4:45 PM
Jordan is working an event with a teammate, Kyle. Kyle keeps slacking off — scrolling his phone and disappearing. Jordan ends up doing all the work. Jordan is furious and wants to complain about Kyle to their supervisor right now in front of the whole team.
What should Jordan do?

NETWORKING 101

The connections you make can open doors to jobs, references, and opportunities you didn't even know existed. Let's learn how to build your network — online and in person.

🤝 What Is Networking?

Networking means building real relationships with people who can help you grow professionally — and who you can help back. It's not just collecting contacts. It's about building trust over time.

  • Start with people you already know: teachers, coaches, family friends, neighbors
  • Every job you've done — even babysitting or volunteering — is part of your network
  • The goal isn't to ask for a job. It's to learn from people who are where you want to be

💼 LinkedIn: Your Digital Professional Home

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network — and it's free. Think of it like a digital resume that also lets you connect with employers and learn from professionals in any field.

  • Your headline: Don't just say "student." Say "Aspiring Healthcare Professional | Passionate about community service"
  • Your photo: Professional headshot — good lighting, neutral background, professional clothes
  • Add every job: Include part-time work, internships, and volunteer work
  • Connect strategically: Connect with employers, people in your industry, and bootcamp graduates
  • Engage: Like, comment, and share posts in your field. Employers notice active profiles

📱 Digital Business Cards

Physical business cards are fading. Today, a QR code or digital card (apps like Blinq, HiHello, or even a LinkedIn QR) lets you share your contact info instantly — and look tech-savvy doing it.

  • Create a digital card with your name, phone, email, and LinkedIn URL
  • Keep your email professional: firstname.lastname@gmail.com — not "partyking2006@..."
  • Add it to your phone's lock screen or save it in your wallet app for quick sharing

💬 Your 30-Second Pitch

When you meet someone new professionally, you need a quick way to introduce yourself. This is called an elevator pitch — because it's as short as an elevator ride.

Template

"Hi, I'm [Name]. I'm a [student / recent grad] interested in [your field]. I'm currently doing a workforce training program and looking to [goal: intern, shadow, learn about your work]. I'd love to [connect / stay in touch]."
