Everything BUT the Résumé: A workshop for designers ready to rethink what comes next

Robert Smith RGD

OCT 02 • 2:45 - 3:30 PM

Meridian Hall — Castlepoint Numa Lounge

Layoffs. Burnout. Being "aged out." Or maybe you're just quietly disillusioned by work that no longer lights you up.

When creatives hit this crossroads, the instinctive reaction is almost always the same: “I guess it’s time to update my résumé.” But here’s the truth: that’s the last thing you should be doing. In a world that’s increasingly automated, templated and optimized for algorithms, your résumé won’t capture what truly sets you apart—your creative mind, lived experience and personal spark. And while a polished website is great, it’s not the starting point either. You can’t promote yourself until you know yourself.

This session is designed to help you reflect and reframe your approach to self-promotion—not from a place of desperation, but from a place of direction. Whether you’re job hunting, pivoting or simply asking “what’s next?”, this workshop guides you through the deep (and sometimes uncomfortable) process of figuring out who you are, what you want and where you truly belong. Pause the performative hustle, block out the noise and get real about your next chapter—starting from the inside out.

Pricing: $10
