Details and Outcomes
Having a well-written CV is great, but no longer enough. You must always be ready to respond to an opportunity, and to be able to share what you do in the shortest possible time. Besides, the first thing many employers would do, especially as you climb the ladder of professional success, would be to check your public profiles - starting with LinkedIn. A good, relevant, well-chalked-out profile is imperative, not just for potential employers and/ or clients, but also to build a portfolio and robust network.
The aim of the Communication Series is to help you build compelling professional profiles - across platforms and opportunities; to ensure confident and persuasive outreach and public representations by you; and to create a lasting synergy between these two goals. All this in an interactive and participative format, through which we share examples, checklists and standout ideas to help you with your resumes, cover letters, basic business writing, public speaking and placement preparation, among other things.
