The Career Blueprint

The Buddy Social is back with another career-focused meetup - an interactive afternoon built to help you stand out in the Irish job market.

📍 The Career Blueprint 🗓️ Saturday, 17th October | 1:30–4:00 PM 📌 Hidden Location in Stoneybatter, Dublin (Close to Red Line Luas)

What is The Career Blueprint?

The Career Blueprint is an interactive career development session designed for students, graduates, and professionals looking to stand out in the Irish job market.

Over coffee and conversation, we'll explore what employers in Ireland are really looking for, how to create a strong, tailored CV, and how to optimise your LinkedIn profile to boost your visibility to recruiters and hiring managers.

This isn't a traditional presentation. Alongside practical insights and career tips, you'll take part in engaging activities designed to build your confidence and sharpen your professional brand — the kind of session you actually walk away from with something useful.
