Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
Turn job search contacts into results

You're at that point in life where you're either on the hunt for your first job, looking to transition to a different department, or wanting to be involved in a project that interests you. Maybe you're even looking for a promotion. Whatever stage you’re at, job hunting is more than submitting resumes and then crossing your fingers. It's about making connections, building your network, and turning those connections into real opportunities. Unfortunately, many job seekers struggle to leverage their contacts effectively, unsure of how to turn conversations into concrete results.

Log on to the SMDP Portal to view this "Mentor Moment" and don't forget to discuss this topic with your mentor/mentee - or share this content with someone else who can benefit from it.
