About this event

Featuring: Sabrina Woods, Holistic Career Coach & LinkedIn Trainer

Workshop Description: When it comes to building your career and landing a new position, you’ve probably heard how important it is to network. Informational interviewing helps to build connections, gain information, and uncover new career possibilities. In this workshop we’ll explore:

• How to find people to talk with

• What to write when making “the ask”

• Research to do before the meeting

• What to share about yourself

• Questions to ask

• Follow up & maintaining your existing network

• And internal networking, for those who want to grow their careers at a current employer

Included in this webinar, there will be an optional 20 mins where you will have the opportunity to practice an informational interview with a partner. This dynamic and interactive session will be hosted by guest speaker Sabrina Woods, an experienced career development specialist, storyteller, and supportive holistic coach.

This workshop is co-sponsored by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Postdoc and Graduate Student Affairs Office and the Harvard Chan School of Public Health Office of Faculty Affairs
