Overview
Are your students ever concerned about the perceptions hiring managers will have of their name, sexuality, or religious affiliation? Do your students ask for your advice on how cultural identifiers should be presented on a resume or shared during an interview? Despite the growing number of diversity hiring plans implemented across various sectors, job seekers still have concerns about facing bias during the hiring process.
In this webinar, participants will share strategies on coaching and advising students on overcoming bias in the job search process. In addition, various diversity variables will be explored and their impact on professional documents, interviewing, and networking. Lastly, a brief review of EEO regulations, multi-cultural awareness, and hiring policies will be reviewed.
Whether the majority of your students are underrepresented populations or not, this webinar is a must for every career development professional providing direct counseling, coaching or advising on employability skills and job searching.
