Halihax February Virtual Event

Halihax

Join us this month for a moderated panel focusing on the topic of career growth.

<p>As we&#x27;ve seen, there has been a significant shift in the market (eg &quot;the great resignation&quot; among others), as a result both companies and employees are having to adapt to a very interesting hiring market. In light of this we&#x27;re going to discuss: building a resume, going through the interviews process and landing that perfect role in todays world; it&#x27;s going to be a night about growing and adapting. </p><p>Our panellists all have varying experiences in interviewing, job searching, making the daunting seem attainable, and are here to debate and discuss these fast-paced changes, so you don&#x27;t have to!</p><p>This is going to be an exciting and jam-packed  panel that you don&#x27;t want to miss. Come check it out to get your career growth questions answered.</p><h2>Our Moderator </h2><h3>Ian Livingstone </h3><p>Ian is a Halifax-based technology leader, entrepreneur, and investor with a passion for empowering engineers  to build the next generation of society-improving applications.
