About this Event
Your resume lists what you’ve done. Your story explains why it matters.
In interviews and applications, the candidates who stand out aren’t always the ones with the longest CVs. They’re the ones who can explain their path clearly and confidently. This 2-hour workshop at 42 Berlin helps you build that story and practice telling it out loud.
We’ll use drawing and writing techniques to map your experience, uncover the thread that connects your journey, and shape it into a story you can use in interviews, cover letters, and networking conversations. No drawing skills required, stick figures are very welcome.
What we’ll work on:
- Mapping your career path visually to find your strengths and turning points
- Building a clear “tell me about yourself” story
- Talking about your resume with confidence, including gaps and career changes
- Presenting yourself in interviews: voice, presence, and structure
- Practicing in small groups with supportive feedback
Whether you’re switching careers, entering tech, or returning to the job market, you’ll leave with a clearer story and more confidence telling it.
