If you’re unsure where to start with your job search or what direction to take, this session offers a structured place to begin.

This insight will then inform the job search portion of the session, where you’ll explore different ways to look for opportunities, what employers typically consider in applications, and how to take a more intentional approach to planning your next steps.
