Welcome to Career Sandwich’s 14-day Career Refresh! No matter your reason for starting this journey, we're excited to help you develop your Personal Career Story: a clear, concise outline of who you are, what you've accomplished, and where you hope to go next in your career. We believe that starting with your story - not your resume - can help you develop more meaningful connections and open up a broader range of opportunities for the next phase in your career.
When we think about building great connections, great first impressions are an essential first step. Imagine you just met someone and you've known them for 5 minutes. For today's activity, take 5 minutes to think about how you'd want that person to describe you. Maybe you'd want them to call you ambitious, or perhaps you'd prefer if someone described you as warm or open. Maybe you have a playful personality and you'd feel good if someone described you as upbeat or fun. There is no wrong answer to this question, but thinking through how you want people to feel after meeting you will be an important lens as we develop your Personal Career Story over the next two weeks.
