Time: Thursday, April 29 - 4:30 - 6:00 PM

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically changed the predictions for future career paths locally and globally. Some businesses have closed. Unemployment rates are high. Traditional jobs and workplace structures are changing while students study online and in isolation, with few opportunities to meet professional alumni and potential employers.
This session will look at the emerging job market and where the jobs are advertised in 2021 and beyond. We will show you how to self-reflect and analyze your education, skillsets and life experiences to fit job requirements. You will hear from successful OISE alumni in Canada and abroad about their job-seeking experiences, workplace cultures and tips for job searches. Students and alumni are encouraged to bring a copy of a job description they are interested in pursuing.
Current mentors and mentees may check their email for details. Can't find your invite email? Contact us at oise.mentorship@utoronto.ca.

Hailing from Bangladesh, Arif Anwar (PhD, '21) is a senior policy with the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services. He's also a novelist, whose debut novel, "The Storm," landed him on CBC's 2018 annual writers to watch list.
The Storm is an epic saga that weaves together five love stories that chronicle sixty years of Bangladeshi history.
In this episode, Jeff speaks to Arif about his work-and how he uses storytelling to highlight critical global economic and social issues and their effects on people. Register now!
