When we think of rebranding, we tend to think of companies or non-profits creating a new look and feel for themselves. We don’t necessarily think about the need to rebrand ourselves. But self-rebranding is just as important. Whether you’re thinking about transitioning into a new field or taking your career to the next level, it’s important to create a resume and portfolio that will position you to attract the right audience. Designing for ourselves is often more challenging than designing for others. We tend to put ourselves last and our work first. So how can we get inspired to rebrand ourselves?

Join us in a conversation with Sophiea Kim and Jacqueline Meyer as they share their career-transition journeys and the challenges they’ve faced along the way. Learn inspiring stories and be ready to ask questions. This Subject Matters Series talk will be followed by our Toolkit Series workshop also lead by Sophiea and Jacqueline.

ABOUT OUR SUBJECT MATTERS SERIES

The Subject Matters Series brings us together for open discussion and shared learning on topics we wonder about.
