That’s a wrap on #CACMidwest! Thank you to all who joined! Thanks to our incredible sponsors who make this day possible: @pfizer, @PGBeauty, @QVCGrp, @BloodCancerUtd, @EliLillyandCo, @Allsup @genentech #bethebossovercancer

Submit your resume to our Resume Review Service here: cancerandcareers.org/resume_reviews… #CACMidwest

A great way to utilize AI is to help perfect your resume. This slide has prompts you can try, but get creative and play around! If you want a professional review of your resume, submit your resume to our Resume Review Service where it will get reviewed by a real human! (1/2)

We’re finishing the day joined by HR pro/experienced coach Adam Goldberg leading a session on Using AI Strategically. While many of you may not have used AI in your work yet, we bet a lot have used AI without maybe even realizing it! #CACMidwest

Most companies use software called Applicant Tracking Systems (or ATS) to filter for qualified candidates. Avoid getting your resume discarded by including keywords from the job description in your resume. #CACMidwest

We’re joined for our 1st session of the afternoon by career coach Julie Jansen. As you think about your job search and what is most important to you don’t feel obligated to disclose anything or everything and be sure to treat the job search like any sort of relationship building.

As we are returning from lunch, we want to give a shout out to our incredible Community Partners. These organizations are doing spectacular work to better the lives of cancer patients/survivors. Check them out below... #bethebossovercancer #CACMidwest

Desiring continued forward momentum in your career doesn’t disappear after a diagnosis. And being proactive and asking for new opportunities to grow is necessary. This slide has some examples of language you can use to talk to your manager. #CACMidwest

Our research shows people have many different reasons for why they choose to work through treatment. And importantly, 70% of surveyed patients and survivors say work has/had a meaningful impact on their cancer experience. #CACMidwest

Scott Sinclair has joined Rachel for our 1st session on Navigating Work After a Diagnosis. There are a lot of aspects that go into a decision-making process, and to help we have laid them out. Remember, treatment is going to be fluid, so this process may need to be repeated.
