Learn how to use the online platform tools, LinkedIN and UCSF Connect, to assist you in the next steps of your career. This session is designed for UCSF students and postdocs seeking non-academic employment looking to unleash the power of these online tools in strategic ways. Why use UCSFConnect? This tool allows alumni to identify what ways they would be willing to connect with students and postdocs. You can view if an alumni is open to answering questions, reviewing your CV, or conducting an informational interview!
