Networking and Mentoring

Since November, you've heard from panelists over and again that their mentors have had a valuable impact on their careers and in the strategic decisions they've made to find satisfying and significant work.

At tomorrow's session, you'll learn key networking skills from Claire Solario to utilize your professional and personal connections and how to appropriately leverage them in the workplace. You'll also hear Carol Schrammel reinforce UC San Diego Staff Mentorship Program.

Combine the two resources and you've got a winning combination.

Think about it. The time you've spent in UExplore is time you've used to get insight into what drives you, motivates you, and inspires you. Knowing this, you'll be able to more effectively communicate your professional development goals to your potential mentor(s) and more empowered to improve upon and develop a body of knowledge and hone skills and abilities to move forward in your long-term, best-matching UC San Diego career path.
