    • How Does It Work?

      1. Weekly Live Zoom Interactive Training

      One Zoom training per week.

      Each Live Zoom training is 60 minutes: 30 minutes for sharing innovative career building models, tools, strategies and practical tactics; and 30 minutes for Q&A and discussions.

       

      All for the price of less than one professional development course or career coaching session. The price will increase post pilot.

      2. Community and Support Building on Circle

      Each week, we'll share one to two prompts on Circle (similar to Slack) for you to work on following our Zoom live training.

       

      You can share your work and questions with us and other students. We can all share feedback, solutions, or suggestions. Your goal is to have both clarity and progress. Working on the right things matters.

       

      If you're not familiar with Circle, no worries. We'll show you and you'll be on the platform with ease in no time.

       

      (Fun fact: Slack was just bought by SalesForce for US$27 billion but Circle is better for our pilot project. So we'll use Circle for building our Pilot)

      3. What You'll Get From This Pilot Training

      • Know-how on building your careers in uncertain times.
      • Know-how on exploring your future career paths using career modeling. The future is fast changing, the same goes for your careers. 
      • A future-oriented, dynamic résumé, ready for the careers you want.
      • Mock interview practice to prepare you for both video and in-person interviews.
      • Salary negotiation training.
      • No-brainer pilot price with high-touch live trainings.
      • Full, no-risk refund within 7 days, if you've attended the training and are not satisfied for whatever reason.

      Space is limited. Apply Now.

    • Why Wifa Pilot is For You?

      We're not career coaches. We're advocates for women's financial growth, leadership and social impact.

       

      If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that change comes swiftly and shockingly.

      Building careers while navigating change brings its own unique challenges. This workshop focuses on one thing:

      Changing The Game for Career Building.

       

      Traditional career planning emphasizes the past: future-guard your career with Mina Fung and Kristi Klassen, seasoned corporate climbers, financial professionals and entrepreneurs.

       

      Using our negotiation tips, one of our members landed a job and negotiated a higher-than-offer salary during the pandemic. She's now leading a team in tech and happily working remotely.

       

      If you're a young leader exploring your career options for the first time, or a professional woman who wants better career options and advancement, join now to up your game in career strategy, interview process and negotiation in this uncertain time.

    • So Who Are We?

      &

      What is a Pilot Workshop?

      A pilot workshop is a test-run workshop before it is released to the general public. We select a small group of participants for the workshop to help us refine it through the exchange of feedback and questions.

       

      At Wifa, we want to build workshops & training models that support smart & ambitious women in their careers, businesses and investments.

       

      Everyone in the pilot workshop will become our founding members and will have exclusive access to:

      1. Founder rate for all future workshops/programs
      2. Live online workshops led by Wifa co-founders, Kristi & Mina
      3. Active & supportive learning and practicing environment in our Circle channels
      Unlike other online courses where you are one of thousands of students who are put in front of video after video with little to no accountability, at Wifa, you are one of the few selected participants who will receive help, attention and support directly from the co-founders. Note, in the market, only 3% ever finish those "video" online courses.
       
      On our pilot workshop we'll hold you accountable and support you through the successful completion of your workshop. Most importantly, you'll be in a fun and productive environment.
       
      Your success means everything to us because our mandate is advancing women for financial growth and social impact.

    • Comments from a student admitted into the PILOT WORKSHOP

      Just what countless women need in this job market. Bravo...

       

      Hardest part has been to be taken seriously as a professional with solid skills and not some “glorified” admin who “does all that others can’t/won’t do”. My can-do attitude has been a detriment to my career growth as I defy the scarcity principle and spread myself thin in order to keep the boss(es) happy.

       

      They think what I do is easy and thus not really that valuable. I’ve tried to negotiate a better position/pay but I’m extremely uncomfortable talking about my true worth and how much I actually deserve. I don’t come across firm and unyielding and thus get turned down easily.

       

      I’m excited to attend the workshop to learn/test-drive what I’ll learn in a practical setting so I’m more confident and self-assured when asking for what I deserve. This is a great time to attend the workshop as I’m exploring a career change and considering professional opportunities in tech by upskilling. I am proud of my personal brand and would like to monetize it effectively.

    • Common Mistakes & Ways to Improve

      When Preparing for Your Careers, Resumes and Interviews

      5 Common Mistakes

      1. Use the same tools everyone else is using, like the #opentowork banner on LinkedIn. We haven't heard any anyone who uses this banner for hiring. Also, this banner may have a hidden signal ("being passive") for some hiring managers or business owners. They prefer to hire people who are proactive.
         
      2. Ask friends and families to proof-read your resume. Most may hate the request but reluctantly do it. 
         
      3. Apply for jobs that you are fully qualified for and hope for the best. Hope is never a strategy.
         
      4. Update your resume with outdated advice.
         
      5. Internalize rejections (very common for women).

      5 Simple Ways to Improve

      1. Use an updated profile photo showcasing your face on LinkedIn. It doesn't need to be super formal. Your profile is your identify. Show who you are.
         
      2. Ask people in your work community to proof-read your resume(s). Or, pay for an affordable service. Some platforms are free.
         
      3. Apply for jobs you want to do with 60 to 70% required qualifications. Update your skillset along the way.
         
      4. Update your resumes each year.
         
      5. Take rejections as a learning experience, if any, and move on quickly to invest your time in better planning, preparation & execution.
