S. Bear Bergman: The LGBT Edge: A Career Workshop for LGBT Students

The UMass Stonewall Center and Career Services present S. Bear Bergman: The LGBT Edge: A Career Workshop for LGBT Students.

Find out how being queer relates to real-life professional skills. The coming out process often involves creating a support network, undertaking a rigorous process of education and training, cross-cultural communication, and renegotiating unwritten contracts. A gender transition involves managing a budget, medical research, and investigation of laws and statutes. These are more than just transferable skills - they're a testament to our determination, resilience, and other qualities that make stellar professionals. Learn how to come out on your resume, create a unique benefit statement, and – if necessary - sell your homo-tastic skill set to a future employer.

This even is free and open to all students.
