Make a personal website in 45 mins with WOKEN + realnice
tl:dr; By the end of this 45-min workshop, you'll have a clean, one-page personal website live on yourname [dot] com (or any domain you like). Hosted free-forever, for whatever's next in your career journey.
But…why have a personal site? Isn’t LinkedIn good enough?
A personal site can be a far better first impression on the internet. It can be the first the hiring manager for your next role sees when they Google you. It lets you to tell your story the way you want to tell it. And it helps you stand out from a sea of same-looking LinkedIns & resumes.
Still, making a site can feel intimidating. Both the technical parts, along with how to write about yourself.
So WOKEN (the career exploration and job search platform) is teaming up with realnice (a simple personal website builder) for this interactive workshop, co-led by WOKEN's founder Rachel Serwetz.
At the end of the half-hour, you'll have a site live on the internet. It'll look great, be mobile-friendly, and be hosted free-forever. Something like Grant's, Priti's, or Justin's.
More specifically, Rachel will help you figure out:
How to write a strong headline (for both your site and LinkedIn)
How to write a strong, concise professional summary
How to craft your story for the various types of audiences you might encounter along your career journey
On the technical side, realnice co-founders Aaron Cohn and Matt Hamilton will show you:
How to buy yourname [dot] com
How to connect it to your site in under 30sec
We'll also have plenty of time for Q&A at the end.
If "make a personal website" has been on your to-do list for months, we guarantee you'll get yours live by the end of the sesh.
