How to make the most of this event:

Be prepared.

Review this website to see who is coming. We will provide you not only with a list of confirmed attendees, but information on their professional background, their firm or company (if appropriate), a list of topics they are interested in discussing, job and internship information for the guests who will be recruiting, and other valuable links.

Be ready to start the conversation.

Whether you are in the early stages of exploring careers or know exactly what you want and simply seek another opinion on your portfolio, be clear on how you will introduce yourself and ask for the help you are seeking. Also, be clear about your skills and strengths so that if someone asks what you have to offer, you can answer effectively.

If you want help preparing for this or anything else career-related, set up an appointment with Sonjala Allen or Harriet Schwartz, CFA Career Consultants by calling 8-2064.
