#106 How to Help Minority Students Tell their Career Story & Get Hired | MWACE Keynote

Today's episode is from an hour long keynote I gave at the 2022 Midwest Association of Colleges and Employers Annual Conference.  Despite being widely used, the name "first-gen" has a negative connotation.  Yet, many college career service administrators, employers, and even us, first-gen students/professionals frequently use it.  I talk about helping first-gen students change the narrative, embrace their journey, value their identity, and the power of vulnerability.  To employers, I give simple techniques to help identify first-gen talent.
