In mid-October, SLU TWA will be hosting its next Virtual Second Chance Job Fair that encourages employers to look beyond applicants’ criminal records.
Please check in September for more information on how to sign up. Once you have signed up, you will be connected to your job coach who will help you through the job fair process. Job seekers meet with a job coach according to your schedule, but there is NO in-person fair to attend! Instead, we ask job seekers to film a two-minute video pitch for employers covering the questions below.
All videos will be due on Tuesday, Oct. 10. After employers view the virtual pitches on Oct. 15 and 16, SLU TWA will reach out to connect you with employers interested in setting up an interview.
Questions to Address in the Video Resume:
- What work-related skills and traits do you have?
- What past work experience do you have? Feel free to also speak to education, training, or volunteer experience, if applicable.
- How have you overcome challenges in your life, and how has this helped you become a better employee?
- What motivates you now?
