About this Event
Finding job postings and preparing for interviews can be intimidating - especially in a male dominated field like STEM! To continue our commitment with women in STEM, our monthly mentorship program, STEM Circuits, is excited to host a Spring Career Development Mini-Series were we will navigate together how to find the perfect job for you and ace the interview.
The second part of our mini-series will be in-person, with the aim to help you demonstrate to the hiring committee why you are the perfect candidate for the role and land your dream job. This seminar will be lead by our speaker Afrida Rahman-Enyart, PhD (she/her/hers) from Proteintech Group, Inc. Our event will be a structured, interactive and reflective collective exploration followed by a discussion with the audience and moderated Q&A.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Take care,
Chicago Women in STEM Initiative
*Complementary food, refreshments and freebies will be provided!
