🚧 This week’s career workshop is all about getting comfortable being seen while you’re still a work in progress. Our guest, Megan Ihnen, will share tools for promoting yourself and reaching the right people with thoughtful materials that capture your story.

You will take a deep dive into your portfolio, breaking down who is actually reading your résumé, watching your work sample, opening your website, or receiving your pitch—and what information they are trying to figure out. Learn how tailor these professional materials for your audience, notice what happens, and make the next version better.
