RHIZE EVENTS
Managing Long Term Job Search Burnout: Share the Weight
WHO IS HOSTING? Courtney Messinger, a new Rhize member who's been laid off twice — by the same company in less than six years.
Managing Long-Term Job Search Burnout is a new regular series she'll lead intended to build resilience, maintain confidence, and progress meaningfully. No professionals, no homework, and no pressure; just an opportunity to learn from others to acknowledge the chronic-stress state of finding a job and become more self-aware to choose the right moves before you land your next role.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? Overall, you've diligently been applying, networking, and putting your best efforts into your job search — so why does each day have so many unnamed emotions and why do you feel like little progress is being made regardless of hearing back from companies?
Join other searching professionals who are working through burnout at any level: mental, emotional, and/or physical exhaustion from prolonged or repeated stress. Some sessions will focus on helpful dialogue and others will have simple but impactful exercises to help you gain new insights to regulate emotions or try something new with nothing to lose.
WHEN IS THE SESSION? Join us live on Tuesday, July 14th. This session will not be recorded.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? You may have noticed that you don't feel like yourself, that you have different emotions or thoughts you battle one day to the next, or honestly don't even know if you are burnt out because you've been going through the motions or can manage stress well. We all process loss and change differently, and gauging where you're at can help you see that seemingly contradicting emotions or beliefs can coexist.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? Being mindful of where you spend energy is crucial when you're burnt out, and you can get out of this series whatever you are capable of putting in. We welcome anyone just wanting to listen and be a silent observer, too, as we want to meet you where you're at and help you with the right next step. For any overachievers or high-performers, you can note any helpful changes or ways to manage/relieve burnout.
If you have ideas for specific session topics or simple group activities we can do in ~45 minutes or less, email Courtney at courtneysmessinger@gmail.com.
A note before you register: This session will not be recorded. What's shared here stays here.

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 July 15 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.

You Asked, We're Listening: A Candid Conversation About The Tools Job Seekers Need
WHO IS HOSTING?Alison and Nilima, founders of Introve/Mirra AI! They built Mirra after their own layoffs, and they've been refining it based on real feedback from real job seekers ever since. This session is them pulling back the curtain and asking you directly: what do you actually need?
WHAT ARE WE DOING? This one is a little different. Instead of Alison and Nilima teaching you something, you're teaching them. We're sitting down together to talk about what's working in Mirra, what's missing, and what would make it the most useful tool possible for job seekers. Alison and Nilima have a big backlog of features they're working through and this conversation will help them figure out what to prioritize. Your voice genuinely shapes what gets built next. Oh, and there will be a few free Mirra day passes up for grabs throughout the session.
WHEN IS THE SESSION? Join us live on Tuesday, July 21. The recording will be posted in Rhize by end of week.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? Because you've probably had a thought at some point — about a job search tool, an AI feature, something that would actually help — and nobody asked. This is Alison and Nilima asking. The tools that get built for job seekers should be built with job seekers. Come be part of that.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? Think about your job search experience — what's taken the most time, what's felt hardest, what you wish a tool could just do for you. Bring those thoughts. You don't need to have used Mirra to have useful things to say. All perspectives welcome.

Know Yourself, Sell Yourself: The Rhize X Mirra 30-Day Challenge
WHO IS HOSTING?Alison and Nilima, founders of Introve/Mirra AI, alongside the Rhize community. This one is a team effort.
WHAT ARE WE DOING? We're kicking off the Rhize x Mirra 30-Day Challenge and this session is where it all starts.
WAIT, WHAT'S MIRRA? Mirra is a tool that helps you understand and articulate what you actually bring to the table, not through a quiz or a personality test, but through real conversation about your real work. You tell it about a challenge you navigated, a decision you made, something you built. Mirra listens for the patterns you can't see, reflects them back to you in your own words, and over time builds a profile that captures how you actually think and work. It gets more accurate the more you use it.
Mirra works best when you put the work in — sharing your stories, your wins, your working style, your values — so that it actually understands you as a professional, not just your job titles. That takes time. It takes intention. And it's completely worth it.
Starting August 1, we're inviting Rhize members to spend 30 days using Mirra the way it's meant to be used. By the end of the month, you'll have a profile that truly represents you and a tool that can go to work for you. This kickoff session is where Alison and Nilima walk you through how to get started, what to do each day, and how to get the most out of the month ahead.
WHEN IS THE SESSION? Join us live on Tuesday, July 28. The challenge officially kicks off August 1. The recording will be posted in Rhize by end of week.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? Because most people set up a tool, poke around for five minutes, and never go back. This challenge is designed to change that. Thirty days of consistent, intentional use with a whole community doing it alongside you. This is how you actually find out what Mirra can do for your job search. Come to the kickoff so you know exactly how to start strong on August 1.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? Create a free Mirra account at mirra.introveai.com before July 28 if you don't have one yet. That's it. Alison and Nilima will walk you through everything else live and the whole community will be right there with you.

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.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? No prep required. Just come ready to share, ask questions, and engage.

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. This time they're back to give you something you'll keep long after the job search is over.
WHAT ARE WE DOING? We're building AI agents. Together. Step by step. An AI agent is a custom tool that automates tasks for you — and by the end of this session, you'll have built one specifically designed for your job search using Claude, for free.
There are plenty of paid tools out there promising to do this for you. This session is different. You're going to understand exactly what you're building, watch it work in real time, and walk away knowing how to do it again on your own. That's a skill. That's yours to keep — and once you have it, you can build an agent for anything.
WHEN IS THE SESSION? Join us live on Tuesday, June 16 from 3–4PM EST. The recording will be posted in Rhize by end of week.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? Because you'll leave with a real skill, a working tool you built yourself, and the confidence to keep building. No tech background needed. No paid subscriptions. Just you and a free Claude account.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? Grab a laptop and create a free account at claude.ai before you join. No paid plan needed. Alison and Nilima will walk you through everything else live.

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.

WHEN IS THE SESSION? Live on Thursday, June 4. Notes and a recap will be posted in Rhize by end of week.

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.

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.
