**SIGN UP IS REQUIRED HERE TO SECURE A SPOT AT THE EVENT.**

For the first mentorship event this term, we will have a presentation giving useful tips on resume writing and interviews. A discussion between the mentors and mentees will follow, critiquing on a resume of their choice. Mentees are highly encouraged to bring their own resume to get the most out of the event. Mentors are welcome to show mentees their own resumes if they are comfortable. There will also be mock interviews specifically for actuarial co-op jobs. This would be a great opportunity for everyone currently in the JobMine process to prep for their upcoming interviews.
Food and refreshment will be provided.
