Join us Saturday, August 16th, from 11 am-1:00 pm CST, for the JETAA Chicago Career Development Workshop! If you are a JET alum currently navigating the job market after JET, considering a career switch, or simply pondering what’s next for you, your attendance is welcome! This event is designed to bring together JETAA members seeking career advice at all stages of their career trajectory.

Our speaker will be Kasia Lynch from Ikigai Connections, who will be able to answer your questions about finding a new position.

The workshop theme is Be your best advocate: Marketing your JET experience for the US job search.  The workshop content will focus on the following:

• Resumes: keywords, master vs custom resume

• Cover letters: use this opportunity to connect the dots for the company

• The actual job search: what’s out there (with examples)

• Connect with the JET alum network to get inspiration (with examples). What are realistic expectations?

• Networking: local US-Japan events, meishi

The first ten people to sign up AND attend the event will receive a thirty-minute

one-on-one session with Kasia, free of charge, on the topic of their choice.
