Join us for the summer ASC Coffee Chat Series for graduate students and postdocs. Each session in the series will be led by industry or government professionals or HR staff and will contribute to your career development in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to:
- Career exposure
- Professional development & skill building for the transition to industry
- Preparation for interviews
- Insights and tips on leveraging career-related tools and resources (e.g., LinkedIn)
This series is a mix of in-person and virtual modality. Thanks to our co-sponsors in Ohio State's Military and Veteran's Services, we will offer coffee and donuts to fuel the discussion during in-person sessions.
On Wednesday, July 20th from 10:30-11:30am ET, Mix Talent will share tips on keeping LinkedIn profile up to date and optimized to highlight accomplishments and reflect resume, using LinkedIn to network, and working with recruiters. Mix Talent representatives will remain on campus in Denney Hall until 12:30pm to field additional questions or to connect with individuals who could not attend the session.
