Question 1

Who is this workshop intended for?

If you've completed workshop 2, or feel uneasy about networking, isolated in your career transition, or unsure where to find support, then this workshop is for you. It is designed for people saying, “I don’t know who can help me get what I want."

Question 2

Who is this workshop NOT intended for?

Accepted Answer

If you are a grad student who has already made a clear decision about the direction you would like to take your career, and you not only feel comfortable with the idea of networking, but you have already taken steps toward creating a community of support, then this workshop is not for you.
