✨ Introducing the EPIC2025 theme, Intelligences! ✨ Intelligences are the multiple, collective, and distributed capabilities of social, technical, business, and environmental systems. How we define, design, use, reproduce, and re-imagine diverse intelligences is about AI and so much more. Intelligences have critical strategic value for organizations across all sectors and industries. We want to hear from you! What does this theme mean to you, and how does it relate to your work? Read it, stretch it, extend it, critique it… Then send us an email with your thoughts: conference@epicpeople.org.

Navigating the job market can feel nerve wracking and isolating, but this process is a social journey that depends on connections: Connecting your past experience to future goals. Connecting your interests, values, and skills to a landscape of organizations and roles. Connecting to recruiters, screeners, and hiring managers through cover letters, resumes, portfolios, and interviews. Connecting yourself as a whole person to the (sometimes alienating) list of skills and qualities that represent the “right” candidate in a job description. Representing Your Professional Self with Tracey Lovejoy and Veronica K Hotton connects you to a coach, a working peer cohort, wisdom from hiring managers, and resources to build an effective resume/portfolio and navigate the career marketplace as an ethnographer or researcher. In this course, meet with a supportive group and gain valuable tools on Wednesdays from 7:30-9 am Pacific Time, February 5 - March 12. 👉 Learn more and register today to start your 2025 off on a meaningful note: https://lnkd.in/gw25hedb #jobmarket #careerchange #ethnography #ux #uxresearch #jobsearch #jobhunt #professionalidentity
