Career Conversations
The Career Conversations Series, sponsored by York Alumni Relations, is a series of panel and webinar discussions that focus on various fields of interest and are designed to provide students with an opportunity to connect with employers and alumni; gain insight into areas of interest to them; and get advice from professionals currently working in the field. During these sessions Employer and Alumni participants will address and discuss questions from a Career Centre moderator, students and new graduates on topics such as:
- Where to look for and secure a position within the industry;
- How to make connections within the field;
- What is involved in the application process, e.g. specific hiring dates, materials required;
- How to write an effective resumé and cover letter targeted to their organization;
- What to expect during the interview; and
- How to succeed on the job.
Register for these panels on the Career Centre's online system using Passport York (you must sign up for an account on the system before you will be able to register for any events).
