9:30 AM - This Job Search is Different: An Interactive Workshop with Kara D. Bell
If you're searching for work in today's AI-driven market, the old playbook isn't enough. Join PurposeWorks Coach, Kara D. Bell, for an interactive workshop designed to help you compete with confidence in the realities of the 2025–2026 hiring landscape. You'll learn how to:
-
Understand why your job search strategy should be unique—not a copy of someone else's.
- Position your full career story—including volunteer, contract, freelance, and gig work—to align with what employers are looking for now.
- Use AI more effectively by adding the one thing it can't replace: thoughtful, human-driven matching between your experience and the opportunities you pursue.
11 AM - Speed Networking
Connecting is more important than ever in the job hunt. This structured, fast-paced activity creates new professional connections. Participants engage in a series of brief, timed conversations designed to quickly introduce themselves, exchange information, and discover mutual interests or opportunities for collaboration. Uncover ways to support or learn from each other!
We meet at Hill Country Bible Church - Lakeline location in the North Auditorium. Use the family entrance by the cafe!
Our speaker will begin promptly at 9:30AM. Plan to arrive early so you can get checked in and not miss any of this amazing training session. Enjoy coffee + tacos and network!
