Description

The YEBN is happy to announce the launch of its new Career Development program called “How to sell yourself”.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

The “How to sell yourself” program provides masterclasses about how to best sell the qualities and skills acquired throughout the educational route, in order to face the professional world. It is a pillar exclusive program for YEBN members, but we decided to open it to other non-members and collaborators too!

The aim of this program is to provide a series of three sessions where professionals are going to guide you through the art of self-promotion when looking for a job, and will teach you how to increase your visibility and create your own professional network, as well as how to best write a professional CV that is appealing to recruiters.
