How To Build A Personal Website w/ Career Center

Connect w/employers, tell your story, differentiate yourself

Online
You just graduated from college. Or maybe you’re graduating soon. Now you need to connect with employers, tell your story, differentiate yourself, and land on a team doing meaningful work. 

One of the most important next steps is to build a personal website.

No matter your degree or industry, a personal website is the landing place for your story and past work. It’s a step up from LinkedIn and is a way to set you apart from other applicants. Most importantly, it’s fantastic practice for writing and sharing your story with potential employers and future collaborators.

In the words of one of the leaders of Creative Direction at Lyft, “I never hire anyone without looking at their website.”

We’ll use the time together to discuss: 

  • personal branding
  • how to write your content
  • what to include (and not include)
  • the best tools to build your site with no coding skills required

This free session will be held on Wednesday, June 30th at 2pm PDT / 4pm CDT. Reserve your spot here: https://explab.sas.upenn.edu/office-hours

We’re looking forward to meeting you!
