Description

"More Than Just a Job” challenges the idea that entry-level roles are merely placeholders and shows how early experiences can become powerful career launchpads. In this session, Tyler Parham—a talent development and career development professional with Chick-fil-A, will share how roles in fast food, retail, and other frontline or part-time jobs can be transformed into compelling career stories that stand out on a resume.

Drawing on his work in Chick-fil-A’s Talent Development Program and his previous experience as a Career & Internship Advisor at Kennesaw State University, Tyler brings a unique perspective on what employers really value. He has coached hundreds of students on resumes, interviewing, and navigating the transition from college to career, and is especially passionate about helping individuals recognize their strengths and confidently position themselves in a competitive job market.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to reframe experiences from jobs like restaurant team member, shift leader, cashier, or sales associate, highlighting transferable skills such as leadership, customer service, problem-solving, and teamwork.
