CAREER MOVES AND MENTORING

The talk is over. The action starts now!

NETWORKING CONNECTIONS
A core group of people come together at Super Conference to meet their colleagues. This is one of the pleasures and values of events like this.

How do you network?
But what if you do not already have a "network"? How do you engage 4,500 people and transform 4, or 40, or 400 into your personal support system? Not only newcomers face this challenge, many experienced people have difficulty as well. But this is the place to be.

Networking: the Session
Wednesday evening, we offer a special combined social get-together with real help. The Art of Networking is offered to new members and first-time conference goers to showcase what the experts suggest you do to meet people and to build a life-long enduring network.

Super Conference social events
There are a huge number of social events and they are all free with registration. Also free without registration are the bars, the coffee shops and the clubs. While social events help you have fun and meet people, the whole conference is a networking opportunity if you know what you are looking for and what to do.

A lifetime skill
Networking is not about getting a job but about maintaining your position throughout your life.

THE CAREER CENTRE
Visit the expanded Career Centre which includes one-onone interviews,résumé critiquing and a Mr. Fixit help desk for your questions. There is on-line access to the job offerings on The Partnership's national job board.

Sessions on the Profession
There is a stream of sessions on getting the job and what's more important - keeping it! Or maybe you need to refind your enthusiasm for the job that is safely in your hands, career development and more.

Mentoring is for Everyone
Interested in mentoring? The mentoring database gives you an easy way to become a mentor or to request a mentor all year round.
