Description
A Mentorship Night is for women students to participate in a roundtable mentorship opportunity with working professionals from leading engineering and IT companies. Join us for the first mentorship circle of the winter semester to develop your interview skills.
During this session, you will:
- Learn how to prepare effectively for interviews with STEM employers in engineering and information technology. Learn what they’re looking for and the types of candidates that stand out to them.
- Answer interview questions with confidence. Learn do’s and don’ts, ways to structure answers, and how to embody courage and authenticity in your body language and presentation.
- Leave a lasting impression to potential employers and the behind-the-scenes of what truly stands out, whether in an interview setting, Co-op, internship and more.
Who can attend?
We encourage women from all backgrounds and identities to join this Mentorship Night, especially women students in a Carleton University Bachelor, Master’s or Doctoral program, of: engineering, IT, applied science, computer science, mathematics, or physics. We are committed to creating spaces that are welcoming and supportive to women of all backgrounds, intersecting identities, and experiences – including racialized women, women with disabilities, Indigenous women, etc.
