McGill University Career Panel

I’ll be participating in McGill University’s career panel for English Literature graduates this Monday, April 26th at 5 p.m. The panel will be held at Thomson House (3650 McTavish) on McGill’s downtown campus.

I’ll be speaking about my experience transitioning away from the traditional academic route, job searching and networking tools. I’m looking forward to meeting the students and sharing experiences.
