Have you ever been asked, “What will you do with THAT major?” When a job or internship says “open to students in all majors,” do you stress about how to demonstrate relevant and transferrable skillsets? On Wednesday, Feb. 5, noon – 1 p.m. in Slocum 201, join our discussion with 4 panelists who will share:
- How they parlayed their majors into great jobs and careers — even though those majors did NOT sound like job titles.
- How to articulate transferrable skills gained from your major and other experience to prospective employers.
- Ways to identify opportunities you are qualified for that require those same skill sets.
LUNCH INCLUDED. Register on Handshake.
