Connect the Buds: “What Is My Story?”

This group session is designed for 18-25 year olds.

Feeling unsure about employability?

If you’ve ever thought:

• How do I answer the “tell me a bit about you” interview question without waffling?
• “I haven’t got much experience — what do I even say?”
• “I wish I could sound more confident in interviews.”

You are not alone. Most people – young and older - struggle with this — and it’s one of the biggest barriers to getting hired.

This workshop will change that

In this interactive one-hour session, you’ll:

• Learn a simple 3-sentence structure (Past – Present – Future) to tell your story.
• Discover how to use your experiences, inspirations and skills to sound credible and authentic.
• Practise in a safe space so you feel more confident and prepared.
• Leave with a ready-to-use story for your next interview, job application or networking event.

What you’ll gain

• Clarity – know how to explain your path and ambitions.
• Confidence – stop freezing on the “tell me about yourself” question.
• Credibility – show employers you understand your strengths and value.
• Connection – make a stronger impression when meeting new people.

Why it matters

Employers want more than grades. They want people who can show self-awareness, motivation and potential. Telling your story well is one of the fastest ways to stand out, even if you’re just starting out.
