Hello everybody,
here is our selection of Friday links.
WIT Activities
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Women in Technology at CERN, we have organised a series of workshops and events focused on networking, interview preparation, CV writing, personal branding and career support. So far, we have successfully held 6 workshops ✨ - thank you very much for your engagement, participation and support throughout this series.
More activities are already in the making for the second half of the year. If there is a topic you would like us to explore in future WIT workshops, we would be very happy to hear your ideas. You can share your suggestions here: https://forms.gle/AFquegvbavtFbfGu8. Stay tuned for more events to come!
