Career Connections are relaxed, private, one-on-one conversations for anyone wanting to talk about their career. You'll meet with a Career Guide; a conference speaker or community member happy to share real perspectives. Not coaching or consulting, just an honest conversation. Bring whatever's on your mind: questions, next steps, or uncertainties. You'll have 20 minutes to talk it through and leave with a fresh perspective.
Several guides have signed up and are ready to meet with you. Sessions appear in Sched just like Fishing Sessions. Sign up through Wally or the registration desk. Sessions will be held in the back of FireLake (enter through the back near the Foyer restrooms).
