Hello MSPQC Students!

Michelle Holland and I are in the process of planning out an optional career development series for all of you. The goal of this free series will be to prepare you for your job search by covering a variety of essential topics in a workshop format. Even if you do not plan on a job search soon, this series will serve as a useful background for whenever you do hit the job market.

This series will consist of six, one-hour sessions from the week of May 3rd through the week of June 7th, 2021 (this is timed to be between the Spring 2021 and Summer 2021 semesters). All sessions except the first will take place on Tuesdays from 12 to 1 PM.

Here is the general outline of topics we'll be discussing:

Date and Time Topic Week of May 3rd (30 minute session) Pre-Session Tuesday, May 11: 12 PM - 1 PM

Networking/Linkedin Tuesday, May 18: 12 PM - 1 PM
