    We are excited to be hosting two resume workshops with industry experts, Emma Carew Grovum and Justin Myers. Both sessions will be open to TJA members who are looking to sharpen their resumes. They'll go over some best practices and review example resumes. They may also give live feedback to your resume — if you send it to them!

    This workshop is for any career level, whether early-career or late-career. You'll come away with at least one concrete improvement you can make to your resume.

    TJA members can attend either or both sessions.

    Session #1 is December 10, 2:00 pm ET.

    Session #2 is December 12, 4:30 pm ET.

    Register on Airtable to receive a Zoom link.

    How does this work?

    Emma and Justin will co-lead both sessions, and the content will be similar. There will be an interactive component, so the exact discussions may vary.

    If you're not currently a TJA member, you can join now. Membership is free!

    How much does this cost?

    These workshops are free to TJA members.

    It's important to us that professional development opportunities remain free to trans journalists, many of whom are full-time freelancers. It's also important to us to compensate our speakers.

    If you want to support events like this, you can make a tax-deductible donation.
