Halihax February Virtual Event

Online

It's almost time for our next event... We're excited to share that registration is now available for our next meetup. As with our last meetup, we are hosting this event virtually from the safety of our own homes. As we've seen, there has been a significant shift in the market (eg "the great resignation" among others), as a result both companies and employees are having to adapt to a very interesting hiring market. In light of this we're going to discuss: building a resume, going through the interviews process and landing that perfect role in todays world; it's going to be a night about growing and adapting. Our panelists all have varying experiences in interviewing, job searching, making the daunting seem attainable, and are here to debate and discuss these fast-paced changes, so you don't have to! This is going to be an exciting and jam-packed panel that you don't want to miss. Come check it out to get your career growth questions answered.
