Alumni Exclusive: Job-Seeking During COVID-19 & Positioning Yourself for Success | Online
About this event
Tapping the hidden job market through networking takes more planning and intention than simply submitting an application for a new job online, but it’s much more effective if you are doing it right. Being open to connecting with and helping others – especially in uncertain times – can give you valuable connections in your chosen field, help you stay focused and motivated during your job search and get you the job of your dreams.
Networking does, however, make a lot of people nervous. 'What is my story? Should I talk about the elephant in the room? How can I get a new job, let alone make new connections when I'm staying at home during this shelter-in-place? How can I attract something better than what I have?'
This event has been designed to address those specific concerns and more. Join us for a panel discussion with expert career coaches, followed by small-group mentor sessions. You’ll leave this event not only having a game plan for your networking experiences but also feeling more confident in yourself and your ability to make meaningful connections during this trying time that will help further your career.
