Preparing for a job or internship interview? Whatever your field of study, stand out in your interviews, or networking events by knowing your prospective employer’s industry, customers and corporate reputation.

Join the TMU Library for an online workshop on business resources for everyone. In this informal session, learn to quickly find credible and up-to-date information to engage in insightful conversations during your interview and networking. Get hands-on practice with specialty databases and walk away with practical information you can use: company profiles, competitors, how market trends are shifting, relevant trends on consumer behavior, and more. 

Expectations for Participants: The session is designed to be interactive, and collaborative. You will be invited to actively participate through virtual breakout rooms, screen sharing, and working in small groups.

A note for the group-activity-averse: If you usually shy away from group work, please don’t let the mention of breakout rooms deter you. The group portion will be brief, just around 15 minutes, and we’ve designed it to be light, and manageable. No pressure, no overwhelm. Promise.

You will be:

• Put into small groups: 2 - 4 people max
• Working collaboratively on a specific activity so you can help each other if there are questions that arise, and finish quicker
• Not required to socialize or turn on your cameras, unless you want to

Tech check: If you are comfortable, we would love to see your shining face and hear your beautiful voice. Please ensure that at minimum, you have a stable internet connection with audio/mic capabilities with minimal background noise.  

Who can join: This session is open to all current TMU graduate and undergraduate students, no matter your program or area of study. Everyone’s welcome!
