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 will be an interactive one that requires your active participation using virtual breakout rooms, screen sharing, and working in small groups.

Note: For those of you who generally avoid ‘group’ activities, don’t let the ‘breakout room’ portion of this workshop stop you from attending. The group activity portion will only be about 15 minutes. It will not be too taxing or overwhelming. We 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
• Grouped together (if possible) with others in your discipline, so there is already a common ground

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.  

Target Audience: Open to all current TMU Graduate and Undergraduate students regardless of discipline.
