About this session

We all have a story to tell, and while our backgrounds and culture play an integral part of who we are, it's become second nature to try and hide those differentiating factors on job applications, cover letters, or even in office conversations. Take it from Michele Cantos, Director of the Grace Hopper Program - stop hiding who you are! In this hour-long chat, we're diving into how you can leverage your culture in applications and day-to-day work... join us!

You asked, she's answering:

  • How can I show my culture on a resume/ cover letter?
  • When is it inappropriate to lead with culture?
  • Any advice for starting an ERG group?
  • & More!
