Career Conversations
The best way to learn about a career is to talk to someone who’s actually in it every day! Career conversations are an important networking technique that are extremely valuable during the job search.
Career conversations can also lead to mentoring opportunities. A mentoring relationship can encourage you to discover your strengths, examine your interests, and identify areas for growth. Visit the Mentoring Office to connect with a mentor in your area(s) of interest.
