How to Translate Your Parenting Skills to Professional Skills

About this session

Are you a parent returning to work after taking time off?

Contrary to popular belief, parenthood is actually the perfect training ground for the workplace, yet parents often overlook – or don’t showcase – the skills they have gained when communicating their value.

Join this conversation with Amri Kibbler, Co-Founder and Chief Community Officer at HeyMama, as she dives deeper into how to position yourself for a successful job search as a parent. During this chat, you’ll learn how to put your real-life parenting experiences on your resume, and talk about them with confidence in an interview that will help land you that job.

During this chat, we’ll talk about:

  • Naming the transferable skills parenthood cultivates
  • Translating those skills to the workplace
  • Communicating those skills on your resume and in an interview
