The Resume Edge: Craft a resume that stands out and lands you more interviews. [6/19/2026] (Recording)

Strong resumes are not about listing responsibilities. They are about communicating impact, progression, leadership, and value in a way that immediately resonates with recruiters, hiring managers, and admissions committees. In this workshop, I'll share practical frameworks and real-world strategies for building resumes that are clear, differentiated, and results-oriented. Drawing on my experience as both a hiring manager and strategic operator across organizations including Samsung, Deloitte, eBay, Homejoy and Serviz, and coaching professionals and MBA candidates, the session bridges the gap between how candidates describe their work and how decision-makers actually evaluate talent. Participants will learn how to: • Transform task-focused bullets into accomplishment-driven narratives • Communicate leadership, ownership, and measurable impact effectively • Highlight career progression and differentiate themselves from peers • Tailor resumes for specific industries, functions, and recruiting objectives • Avoid common resume mistakes that weaken otherwise strong candidates • Understand how recruiters and hiring managers actually scan and evaluate resumes The workshop also explores the hidden factors that elevate top resumes — including clarity of positioning, narrative cohesion, prioritization of information, and demonstrating strategic thinking rather than simply operational execution. Attendees consistently describe the workshop as one of the most practical and immediately actionable resume sessions they have attended — particularly because the frameworks continue to be useful throughout their careers, not just for a single application cycle.

How to Tell If You’re Ready to Apply to Medical School [6/19/2026] (Recording)

**How to Tell If You’re Ready to Apply to Medical School** Many students focus on GPA and MCAT scores when deciding whether they are ready to apply to medical school. However, successful applications are built on much more than academic metrics alone. In this presentation, we'll explore the questions that many pre-med students, gap year applicants, and reapplicants find themselves asking before submitting their applications: * Is my GPA strong enough? * Is my MCAT score competitive? * Do I have enough clinical experience? * Are my extracurriculars meaningful and impactful? * What hidden weaknesses might I be missing? * Should I apply this cycle or wait? * Would a gap year help me? * Am I emotionally ready for the application process? Through a holistic admissions lens, we'll discuss what medical schools are truly looking for beyond numbers, including academic readiness, clinical and service experiences, personal narrative development, application strategy, and emotional preparedness. Whether you're preparing for your first application cycle, considering a gap year, or planning a reapplication, this session will help you evaluate your strengths, identify areas for growth, and make informed decisions about your timeline. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of what makes an application feel genuinely competitive, cohesive, and ready for submission. **Hosted by Dr. Vicki**, a board-certified physician advisor with more than 17 years of medical admissions advising experience helping applicants across the United States and internationally navigate the path to medical school.
