A panel of young professionals will cover relevant topics such as: how to build relationships and connections in a current job, how to maximize social and online networking tools to find a job, and how best to market yourself. The event will finish with a dessert reception and informal networking opportunities. Bios of the panelists: Leon Fridmar, AVP
