The Career Services Center at the University of Delaware’s Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics will be hosting Ask Me Anything (AMA) Career Expert Panels throughout the spring 2021 semester. These webinars are free and open to the public. The panels include many UD alumni and mentors from the Lerner Executive Mentoring Program.
“The sessions were created around a series of topics that have come up quite a bit over the last several months. When we did our Career Expert panels in the summer, it was focused on overall professional development (i.e. interviewing, networking, job search),” said Jill Gugino Pante, director of the Lerner College Career Services Center. “For the AMA, we wanted to delve a little deeper into topics and create a platform (AMA) where the audience would be comfortable asking difficult questions.
“We hope attendees will have some ‘to do’s’ on their professional development list after attending our webinars,” Pante continued. “We find that the most valuable webinars are the ones where you can take away tangible advice and resources.”
