About this event

Ever wonder how BPIA upperclassmen landed internships at the Council on Foreign Relations, on Capitol Hill, at JPMorgan Chase, and more? Now's your chance to ask them yourself! Join us for The Insider's Guide to Professional Development, where our upperclassmen panelists are sharing the real stuff nobody tells you. How they found their opportunities, what made their applications stand out, how to write a cover letter that actually gets read, and how to walk into interviews feeling ready. Whether you're looking at think tanks, government, finance, nonprofits, or international orgs, there's something here for you.

Bring your resume for one-on-one feedback! Our upperclassmen will sit down with you, look over your resume! --- Event Details: https://revconnect.gwu.edu/rsvp?id=378689
