A huge thank you to Keith Campagna for leading such an energized and engaging session!
One message that really stood out was that job searching isn't just about updating a résumé or practicing interview answers; it's about understanding who you are, what you are genuinely good at, and the kind of work that truly fits you.
Participants walked away with greater clarity about where they are, where they want to go, and one intentional next step forward. And yes... we even talked about dragons.
Thank you, Keith, for reminding us that meaningful career growth starts with self-awareness.
