Career Readiness Workshop: Job Search Feeling Stuck? Let's Talk Strategy!
About
Endless applications. Ghosted emails. That “am I doing this right?” feeling. Sound familiar?
Job searching can feel like a full-time job—and it’s easy to wonder if your efforts are actually getting you anywhere. This session is all about helping you take a step back, evaluate your approach, and make smart pivots when things aren’t clicking.
Monday, June 15
3-4pm MDT, Virtual
We’ll chat about:
- How to tell if your job search is working (or not)
- What to do when it’s time to switch things up
- Creative strategies beyond just applying online
Join GSSW Career Services for a real talk on job search strategy—because sometimes, a small shift can make all the difference.

About
If your job search feels stuck or you’re not getting the responses you hoped for, it might be time to shift your strategy. Many opportunities aren’t found on job boards—they’re found through people. This workshop focuses on how to use LinkedIn and intentional networking to expand your reach, make connections, and open new doors in your job or field placement search.

Career Readiness Workshop: From Offer to Acceptance...Navigating Your Salary
About
You’ve landed a job offer—amazing! But before you jump in with a big “yes,” let’s talk about what that offer really means. Social workers are incredible at advocating for others, but when it comes to negotiating for themselves? That can feel a little trickier. This session is here to help you change that.
Tuesday, June 16
12-12:45 p.m. MDT, Virtual
We’ll cover how to:
- Figure out what you need from a job (your non-negotiables)
- Understand what the role is actually worth in the job market
- Approach salary conversations with confidence and clarity
Whether it’s your first offer or your fifth, this workshop will give you the tools to make sure the job works for you, not just the other way around.
Come learn how to advocate for yourself—because your skills, education, and unique talents are valuable!
