Wouldn't you have been more confident in your first interview had someone been there to review your resume or practice your interviewing skills? Twenty local students will be selected from area high schools to attend the conference as our guests. We would like to offer these students the opportunity to be paired with a business professional they can build a friendship with and count on for advice. If you are interested in being paired with a mentee, please note on your registration. Why not give them the advantage you might not have had? You might even learn a little something from them. Mentors will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 20 interested registrants.
