9/11 Day of Service - Personal Branding Workshop Volunteer
Volunteer Position Description:
We are looking for volunteers with a professional background and/or a background in career services to help facilitiate a Personal Branding Workshop. Volunteers will assist in a mock interview "speed dating" activity as well as personal branding workshop, in which clients learn more about how to best present themselves in a job interview.
Program Description:
As part of the 9/11 Day of Service, Met Council will be hosting a special career readiness workshop on the topic of Personal Branding. Being able to brand and/or market one's self effectively is a vital tool used to establish valuable professional connections, and this is often used in a person's "elevator speech". This introduction speech is the point where a person has a couple of minutes maximum to make a positive impression on a person they are meeting for the first time.
In addition to an opening workshop and presentation on how to effectively market one's self given to all attendees, they will have the opportunity to simulate this scenario effectively through "speed networking" workshop with our professional volunteers. Each attendee will sit down one-on-one for just a couple minutes, and in this time will be able to practice marketing themselves during their elevator speech, before moving on to the another volunteer. The goal will for attendees to leave this workshop more confident in introducing themselves to potential professional connections, and be able to expand their networks more effectively.
