(BEW2022) Black Engineer Scientist & Tech - Speed Network Lunch at LinkedIn

About Black Engineer Week: Black Engineer Scientist & Tech - Speed Networking Lunch at LinkedIn

We’d host the students for a ‘speed networking’ session with LinkedIn employees over lunch plus walk them through a LinkedIn 101 training. The networking session would focus more on soft skills interviewing tips but could explore blending some feedback on technical interviews skills depending on employees attending.
