Make it count

  • Look through the organizations hiring in your field before you go, and pick a handful you most want to meet.
  • Go to sessions where those organizations are speaking, and ask a question. Speakers remember the people who ask.
  • Follow up within two days of meeting someone. A short note that mentions what you talked about is enough.
  • Many events have discounted or volunteer places for students and people between jobs. Check the official site.

Event details are collected from organizers' public websites and can change. ForGood is not affiliated with these events — confirm dates, location, cost and registration on the official site before you book anything.
