Quantum Leap Career Nexus: Virtual Workshop

The Quantum Leap Career Nexus is a new career development event to help students and postdocs connect with potential quantum employers. Before the main in-person event on September 12, we are holding one more virtual workshop designed to help you make the most out of your conversations with potential employers and other industry, government, and academic representatives. 

Virtual Workshop - Developing an Elevator Pitch
https://rqs.umd.edu/events/career-nexus-developing-elevator-pitch

Thursday, September 5, 2024, 11:00am-12:00pm 

Facilitator: Linda Macri, PhD

An elevator pitch is a very short conversation starter. You use it to introduce people to you and your work in a range of settings, both formal and informal.   In this interactive workshop, you'll learn more about elevator pitches and how to compose and refine one based on your work and your audience. The session will include time to draft, practice, and revise an elevator pitch.  Come ready to think, write, and talk!

The main in-person event will be on September 12 at UMD, with keynote speakers, opportunities to meet employers in an exhibition hall and smaller groups, a poster session, and lab tours. 

Register here to attend the virtual and/or in-person workshop!
