First Job to Dream Job: Landing the Next Big Gig
What separates people who land great opportunities from those who miss out?
Often, it's not experience alone. It's knowing how to build the right relationships, communicate your value and navigate the conversations that shape your career.
Join us for an interactive evening designed for early-career professionals looking to confidently position themselves for their next opportunity.
Rotate through 4 sessions, where you will be guided on how to:
- Find and approach a mentor
- Nail your elevator pitch and introduce yourself confidently
- Navigate feedback and embed resilience in your career
- Refresh your professional profile with a complimentary headshot
You'll leave with practical skills, new connections and actionable insights that will help you move from your first job towards your next big opportunity.
Places are limited, so we encourage you to register early.
