Lunch and Learn: Jobs and Careers

Vic will be joined by professional career coaches Jonathan Rogers and Kirsten Nicholl to discuss the real pain points people are facing out there in this tight market. We will clarify the difference between a mentor and a coach, how to pivot your career at any stage of life, advice for finding your first job after arriving in Aotearoa NZ, when to use GenAI (and not!), and more. This panel discussion will be free for everyone to join.
