RESUME

Presentation starts on paper. You can’t get the job without the interview, but you can’t get the interview without the resume. A clear and compelling document is a must have for any job search or college application.

For trans and nonbinary people, a resume is an especially important tool in communicating both your skills and expertise, as well as your unique background and how (or how not) to disclose certain information. A great resume is a powerful document that you can use to frame your candidacy and the conversation in the strongest possible way.  

The Renegade Fund can provide free resume templates and editing assistance to help get your CV on the top of the pile. Beyond a compelling presentation of experience, we can also help navigate the more sensitive presentation of pronouns, names, and references that may follow your professional life.

INTERVIEW PREP

Interviewing is a skill, and like any skill it takes practice. The Renegade Fund provides free interview prep and coaching for any trans or nonbinary person preparing for an important meeting. We’ll go over interview basics, the standard Q&A you can expect, and how to craft answers that highlight the exceptional skills and abilities that make you a standout candidate. Beyond this essential prep, we can discuss how to navigate background information or personal questions that are inherently more difficult for trans and nonbinary people. These completely free, 45-minute private coaching sessions are offered via zoom, facetime, or phone call.

DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Presentation is everything. Clothing choice can say a lot about you in an interview, so knowing what to wear and how to wear it is important. This is especially true for trans and nonbinary people at particular moments in their own body’s journey.

Access to professional clothing options can be difficult or uncomfortable for some trans or nonbinary people for many different reasons. If you can’t afford a professional suit, or feel uncomfortable or unsafe shopping for appropriate professional dress wear, The Renegade Fund may be able to assist. Please get in touch with us to learn more about how we might be able to help you Dress for Success.

More personalized information may be discussed in a free interview coaching session.
