A Talk by Rasheeda James (Senior Career Consultant, Black On The Job)
About this Talk
Your Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA’s) are your currency—and it’s time to make sure they’re paying what they’re worth. In this session, I’ll walk you through how your KSA’s should show up differently on your resume depending on the career stage you’re in, the roles you’re targeting, and the salary you deserve.
We’ll explore how to tailor your resume language to speak directly to recruiters and hiring managers at every level—whether you’re pivoting industries, chasing that promotion, or stepping into leadership. You’ll also learn how Black On The Job (BOTJ) can support your journey with resume writing, career coaching, and a full suite of services designed to help you transition your KSA’s into your next “I Got the Job!” moment.
Come ready to rethink how you represent your value—and walk away with the tools to secure the bag.
