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 that the skillsets you got from your major are relevant and highly transferable? Our 5 panelists will share how they parlayed their majors into great jobs and careers — even though those majors did NOT sound like job titles. They will also share tips on how to articulate transferrable skills gained from your major to prospective employers and suggest ways to identify opportunities you are qualified for that require those same skillsets. Slocum Hall, Room 201. Register on Handshake. LUNCH INCLUDED.
