Описание: Eps. 80: Let's Talk Scholarships

Ever waited until the last minute to ask for a reference letter, only to realize you don’t have the right connections? You’re not alone.

Strong recommendations start with strong relationships. This webinar will talk about how to nurture networks early and secure references that make a real difference for academic and industry opportunities.

✅ What you’ll learn:

How to build and maintain professional relationships
What makes an outstanding reference letter (and common mistakes to avoid)
Best timing and approach for requesting letters/referrals
Cultural differences and future trends—are references losing relevance?
Why do references even matter?
And lots more

We have seen and heard of great candidates with outstanding profiles loose opportunities due to their references either being incomplete or being vague/generic
