1-1 Mentoring Session

In this session, meet one-on-one with experienced design mentors for rapid-fire feedback and conversation. Mentees will sit at any table they choose. Whoever is nearest the mentor goes first. After about 5-7 minutes, the mentor will ask that the mentee to give the seat to the next person at the table (time per pairing may vary). Rotate, connect, and make the most of this fast-paced opportunity to learn, grow, and get actionable advice. Use this time in a way that suits your needs. You could get a quick portfolio and resume review. Or, it could be a simple discussion on how to showcase your skills, highlight your unique strengths, and make a lasting impression on potential employers. Tip: While you wait for the mentor, connect with the people on your table.
