Many people struggle with figuring out what they want to do in their career. This feeling can range from moderate confusion to existential dread: “What do I want to do with my life?” Luckily, there are structured ways to hone in on potential answers to this question. No one can answer it for you, but we’ll focus on identifying career path options that fit three dimensions: your skills, your interests, and your personal value system. Options can be categorized by career path trajectory, compensation level, mobility across industries, and more.

Orpheus will help you craft a concise and compelling resume that highlights your skills and achievements. Orpheus focuses on “co-creation” for a reason - generally, it is not in your best interests for someone else to make your entire resume for you. We’ll work together to ensure your personal experiences are reflected in an impressive and authentic way, and to ensure that you can continue to build on your resume well after you’ve finished working with Orpheus.

Finding the right opportunities in a sea of online information can feel overwhelming, especially when some jobs are receiving hundreds of applications at once. Orpheus will teach you the best ways to find relevant jobs or internships, how to look beyond just LinkedIn and Indeed, and strategies for getting an interview faster once you’ve found something you like.

Interview prep is one of the most-neglected parts of the process for younger candidates. Many people assume that getting an interview is the toughest part, but acing an interview with a real person is much more difficult than you might think. Your interviewer will be judging you across dozens of dimensions - consciously and subconsciously - that you might not even think about, all while comparing you against other well-qualified applicants. This is one of the most critical parts of the process and Orpheus places a very high emphasis on preparing for it. We’ll focus on how to get ready for an interview, how to manage your nerves, and how to manage the quality and quantity of your answers.

Many companies are increasingly asking applicants to complete case studies to showcase their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This is becoming especially common in technology, marketing, product management, strategy, banking and consulting roles. Depending on your desired career path, Orpheus will take you through some potential case studies and help you get ready for the ones you might encounter in the job search.

Personal storytelling is something all candidates struggle with. This is the story of you - who are you? More importantly, why should anyone care? How do your unique experiences, struggles, strengths, failures, and lessons learned make you more valuable or better-equipped than someone else? This is such a core part of the job search, and yet so many candidates are not able to confidently or convincingly express an authentic personal story. It is an inherently human problem - knowing oneself and becoming confident in it. But with the right introspection and preparation, you can begin the journey of building your story. This is a core pillar of the Orpheus program.
