POSTPONED – The Diversity Hire – Optimizing Your Career Opportunities

Interest in hiring diverse candidates has risen dramatically in recent years as companies realize the value that diversity, equity, and inclusion can mean for productivity and profitability. In this interactive interview, Felicity Hassan from diversity-focused executive recruiter, Audeliss, will discuss navigating the job market as a diverse candidate/hire and what a healthy & inclusive company culture looks like.

You'll learn how to stand out and leverage your uniqueness to find the position at a firm where you can “bring your whole self to work.”

Our format is relaxed “fireside chat” where attendees will hear answers and advice relating to these questions:

• How do you know if a company is serious about diversity hiring?
• What is a career plan, and how can you fashion yours to achieve the goals you want?
• What should one be mindful of when working with a recruiter?
• What are some resume red flags that can hurt your consideration?
• What are common interview mistakes?
• What are the common traits and mindsets of those who land executive roles?

You're are also to bring or ask other questions you have.

By the evening's end, you'll have a better sense of how to market your talents as a diversity candidate to companies where you can bring “your whole self” to work.
