Get The Most Out Of Rhize: A Monthly Info Session for New and Existing Members!
Hi Rhize friends! Rhize has been growing like crazy. We're constantly evolving and adapting based on what you all need, which means there's a ton of new stuff to explore. Whether you're brand new or you've been here since day one, this monthly session is your chance to get the full tour and make sure you're getting the most out of this community.
WHO IS HOSTING? Giovanna, your favorite unemployed girlie and the Founder of Rhize!
WHAT ARE WE DOING? I'm hosting a live demo walkthrough of the entire Rhize Slack workspace. We'll cover how to register for events, navigate the resource document, search the member directory, and engage with the community like a pro. Plus, I'll share all the little tips and tricks that'll help you actually use this space to support your career journey. Think of it as Rhize 101, but way more fun.
WHEN IS THE SESSION? Hosted the first Tuesday of every month. Notes and recordings will be updated and shared in Rhize.
WHAT SHOULD I SHOW UP? Because Rhize is here to support you now and in the future, but only if you know how to navigate it. We've built out so many resources, connections, and opportunities for you, and I want to make sure you're set up to take full advantage of everything we offer. Plus, it's a great way to meet other members and feel more connected to the community.

Making Authenticity Your Edge: Introve/Mirra AI Office Hours (with Our Resident AI Experts!!)
WHO IS HOSTING?Alison and Nilima, founders of Introve/Mirra AI! They met after their own layoffs and realized neither of them could explain what they were actually good at (despite years of experience). So they built Mirra, a tool that helps people figure that out.
WHAT ARE WE WORKING ON TOGETHER? Most job search advice tells you to perform. This session is about the opposite. Join us for an office hours focused on bringing you to the forefront of your job search. We're talking about how to recognize the value in what you actually do, find roles that genuinely fit, and talk about your work like a real person. No STAR format, no corporate buzzwords required.
WHEN IS THE SESSION? We host two sessions per month. Join us live on Wednesday June 3 from 2-3PM EST.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? Because most resume, cover letter, and interview advice makes you sound like everyone else. Same goes for cold outreach templates. We'll talk about what hiring managers actually respond to, what lands, and how to stop underselling yourself and your accomplishments.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? Bring a little curiosity and your questions. That's really it. You can show up with a resume, a job posting, or a story you've been trying to tell better. It's office hours. Drop in, ask us things, hang out.

Building Resilience After Rejection
WHO IS HOSTING? Meredith Krupa, a Rhize member who's been in the thick of it and come out the other side. Building Resilience After Rejection is a monthly community-led session — no outside experts, no polished talking points. Just a member who's lived it, holding space for others who are in it right now.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? Compounding rejection. The "you're our top candidate" that turns into a generic no. The fifth round, the seventh round, the eleventh round. The silence after you gave it everything you had. The "laid off three times in three years" type of rejection. We're talking about what it actually feels like and what it takes to keep going anyway. This is an open, attendee-driven conversation about processing rejection, building real resilience, and finding your footing again.
WHEN IS THE SESSION? Join us live on Tuesday, June 9. This session will not be recorded.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? Because rejection in this job market is par for the course. And it's a lot harder to carry alone. The people in this room have survived rejection counts in the double digits. Their wisdom isn't theoretical. If you're in the middle of it right now, this session is for you. If you've made it through and want to give back, this session is also for you.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? Just show up. You don't have to share anything you're not ready to share. Come as you are — burnt out, hopeful, numb, or somewhere in between. All of it is welcome here.
A note before you register: This session will not be recorded. What's shared here stays here.

AI Interviews: What They Are, Why They're Weird, and How to Nail Them
WHO IS HOSTING? Alison and Nilima, founders of Introve/Mirra AI. After their own layoffs, they built Mirra — a tool that helps people understand and articulate what they actually bring to the table. They're back to help you tackle one of the most disorienting parts of the modern job search.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? AI interviews. Every company has a different platform. Some build their own. None of them feel natural. And most job seekers have no idea what to do when they get that request. We're going to talk about all of it: why AI interviews feel so off, how to handle them mentally when you get one, and what you can actually do to prepare and walk in with more confidence.
WHEN IS THE SESSION? Join us live on Tuesday, June 23. The recording will be posted in Rhize by end of week.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? AI interviews aren't going away and the discomfort you feel isn't a you problem, it's a design problem. This session will give you a framework for approaching them without spiraling, plus practical ways to prep so you're not walking in blind. And if you've been using Mirra to build your professional story, we will show you exactly how to use it to get ready for this specific kind of interview.

Build It Before You Need It: A Real Approach To Networking In This Job Market & Beyond
WHO IS HOSTING? Sabrina Dhaliwal is a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Nerdio and a longtime member of the Rhize community. After experiencing two layoffs in two years, she doubled down on building and nurturing her network, ultimately turning those relationships into three job offers in a row. She brings a practical, real-world perspective on what actually worked for her in today’s job market.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? Networking. It is is one of the most overused and under-explained parts of the job search. Everyone talks about it, but few people explain how to do it, and it becomes especially frustrating when it feels like your outreach falls flat. Sabrina will break down exactly how she approached networking: what she did, how she asked for coffee chats, how she followed up, and how long it realistically took to see results. This is a candid discussion about leveraging your network as another tool to navigate the job market in 2026.
WHEN IS THE EVENT? Live on Tues. May 19th. The recording will be posted in Rhize by end of week.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? If you’ve tried networking and felt like it went nowhere, or if it feels vague, forced, or transactional, this session will give you a more grounded approach. Sabrina isn’t a career coach or influencer, she’s someone who navigated this job market quite literally a month ago. Networking isn't a magic bullet, but the goal of this session is to present a clearer, more realistic understanding of what networking can look like.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? Nothing specific to prep! Come ready to engage in the discussion!

Beyond Burnout: Creating a Mindset for Sustainable Success
WHO IS HOSTING? Jennifer Holt is a Jen Holt is a career and leadership coach who helps professionals navigate burnout, transition, and recalibration with clarity and confidence. Jen spent nearly twenty years with a front-row seat to the toll that rapid change, layoffs, and nonstop performance demands can take, working in high-pressure roles in national security and corporate tech, including the FBI and Amazon. These personal experiences led her to a career pivot and she founded Bright Finch Coaching. Her work blends strategic insight with practical, human-centered tools to help people steady themselves, rebuild momentum, and create a sustainable path forward in an unpredictable job landscape.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? This session cuts through the noise around burnout and gets to the real mechanics behind why so many capable professionals hit a wall—especially during layoffs, career transitions, and constant change. Jen breaks down what burnout actually is (and isn’t), how it shows up in your mind and body, and what practical steps you can take to stabilize your energy, rebuild confidence, and move forward with intention.
WHEN IS THE EVENT? Live Tues., May 12. The recording will be posted in Rhize by end of week.
