UFFC-S Professional Networking and Mentoring Program: Workshop 2

On Saturday 19 June 2021, the UFFC-S Professional Networking and Mentoring Committee welcomed participants to the second UFFC-S mentoring workshop – the second in a program of five workshops and panel discussions this summer. Hosted by Sreeja Nair, an Outbound Product Management Leader at Qualcomm, the session focused on "Crossing the Career Chasm: Managing your Career as a Product". "It's not just what you know, but who knows what you know" – Sreeja challenged participants to develop their technical skills as well as increase their visibility to get ahead in their careers. Just as in product development, where "communicating value is as important as creating value", Sreeja guided participants through techniques to develop their personal brands and to identify version 2.0 of their careers. Join the UFFC-S Professional Networking and Mentoring Program next month for workshop 3 – "Networking for Nerds" with Alaina G. Levine (10 July 2021) – open to all and free to attend. The UFFC-S Professional Networking and Mentoring Program is a new pilot initiative, so far pairing 64 mentors and mentees from 17 countries.
