Every Question You are Afraid to Ask about Life in IT after Graduation – An Interactive Workshop
Marina Schwenk, Steve Wolk, et al | February 15, 2023 | 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. CT
It’s not enough to write good code or be a whiz at the operating system. You will need soft skills to excel in your career. But colleges have traditionally been poor at teaching this — great at sharing technical expertise, but less helpful when it comes to the business of how to get a job, keep that job, and advance in your career.
Co-presented by N2i and the COMMON Business Development subject matter experts, this interactive workshop will address what to expect in your first job. But the real value to this workshop comes with your questions and in discussion with fellow attendees. Come prepared to discuss your experiences. And be prepared to turn your webcam on.
Think of this session as a graduate seminar where your participation is key.
Expected topics to be covered include:
- Getting a job
- Keeping a job
- Advancing in your career
- Time Management
- Selling your ideas to the business
- Everything they didn’t teach you in college
