In this presentation, we will cover the skills needed to become a professional. As a Penn Stater, this begins as early as you set foot on campus as a first year student. The Professional Branding practice begins with an Action Plan. Here are a few items that will be covered during the chat:

• What is an Action Plan?
• How do I learn about my personality – strengths/weaknesses and my EQI?
• What does it mean to Brand to become a Professional?
• How do I prepare a marketable resume?
• How do I read a job post?
• What is a Pitch?
• How do I become familiar with research and resources to become a professional?
• What is a network?
• How do I manage my online presence?
• Can I become a professional interviewer?
• What are the skills used for interviewing?
• How do I land the first internship or full time position?
• Can I use the skills learned today to go to professional or graduate school?

The questions in my presentation will be answered to help you achieve “We Are-Professional”
