UPDATE 3/24: We have a had a huge interest in Volunteers for the day and at this time are only accepting RSVP’s for Students & Mentees. Thank you for your interest in supporting I-NOMA!
Our ongoing mission for the I-NOMA NextGen Career Development Day is to provide access for ALL of our tremendously talented membership to tools and resources to help them prepare for the next step in their careers. Attendees are invited to take part in a round-robin circuit of resume and portfolio reviews with industry professionals, mock interviews with Chicago design firms, and professional headshots. Each year this is a great opportunity to get one-on-one contact with many prestigious Chicago firms and talk to members about their professional experience.
For security reasons participants must RSVP by Friday, March 28th to get your name to building security. To ensure you get the most out of this event, attendees are asked to bring 10 copies of their resume and sample portfolio pages. You are welcome to bring a laptop or iPad to share your portfolio digitally, but a presentation screen will not be available for use at most stations.
