The Power of Your Story: Using Career Narratives to Advance Your Career

Behind every resume and interview answer lies something far more powerful: your story. For BIPOC, immigrant, and first-generation professionals, learning how to tell that story with clarity and confidence can be the key to unlocking opportunities that once felt out of reach.

In this talk, career strategist and speaker Alondra Canizal Hsu shares how to transform personal and professional experiences into authentic narratives that highlight skills, resilience, and value. Through real-world examples and practical tools, participants will learn how to:

→ Identify the key moments that define their professional journey

→ Translate lived experience into strengths employers value

→ Communicate achievements with clarity and authenticity

→ Use storytelling as a tool across resumes, interviews, and networking

Participants leave with a clear framework to tell their professional story in a way that builds confidence, deepens connections, and helps them stand out in a competitive job market.
