“Tell Me About Yourself”

Career Advancement Micro-Course

The humble professional’s guide to cringe-free introductions

You’ve accomplished a lot in your career to date.

But in job interviews and networking events, you flounder.

Either you share too much, leaving your listeners confused.
Or you share too little, leaving your listeners bored and disinterested.

How do you introduce yourself such that new contacts quickly understand your unique value at work - without seeing you as an egotistical jerk?

Many mid-career professionals earn praise as project managers and individual contributors. But they get pigeonholed as “doers” and struggle to advance to leadership roles.

Our proven job search accelerator helps hardworking jobseekers build impactful resumes, nail critical job interviews and land their dream roles.

If you’re ready for your next career move, Anthea is a fabulous strategic ally and expert communicator.
