    Join Our Monthly Career Transition Group (free service for everyone)

    As an HR community, we’re committed to supporting one another—especially during times of transition. Whether you're facing unemployment or underemployment, SDHR Forum is here to help. Our Career Transition Group is a monthly virtual series designed to bring together job seekers and community leaders for guidance, encouragement, and most importantly—connection.

    Each session focuses on a key area of the job search, such as resumes, interviews, networking, and more. You’ll also have the opportunity to share your progress, discuss challenges, and explore ways the group can support you along the way.

    By participating, you'll gain valuable resources, renewed motivation, and a sense of community as you navigate your next career step. 

    Upcoming Session

    Date: August 26 at 9:30 AM
    Speaker:
    Dena Ayala - CEO and President at Ignite Human Capital
    Topic:
    Rethinking the Résumé: Myths, Mistakes, and Modern Moves

    Session Summary:
    Your résumé is often the first impression you make—but the truth is, what works for one reader might not work for another. In this engaging and interactive session, we will break down the myths, highlight common mistakes, and share modern strategies to help your résumé stand out. You will discover modern formatting and content tips that make your experience shine and will help you land more interviews.

    Interactive Breakout Rooms:
    Bring your résumé with you! After the keynote discussion we'll move into small breakout groups where you'll get personalized feedback and actionable tips from peers and facilitators.
