Le Chateau’s Dress for Success Workshop (4 to 5:30 p.m.)
Do you know what to wear to a job interview? Do you think about “image” and job search? Do you think it costs a lot to look GOOD? Self-marketing revolves around the image you project and how you sell yourself. It takes less than 30 seconds to make a first impression. Employers will often consider your appearance before listening to what you have to say.

If you’re not sure of the difference between business and business casual, or formal and semi-formal, let the experts from Le Château give you some tips. They will teach you how to use your wardrobe to project a positive image and ultimately achieve your professional goals and ensure that the first impression a potential employer gets from you is a positive one!

Careers in Retail Panel (6 to 7:30 p.m.)
Hear what retail professionals have to say about their day-to-day work, challenges they face, and advice to current students about how to find a position in retail. The panel presentation will last approximately one hour followed by a 20-30 minute question period. Don’t miss this great opportunity to access knowledge and gain networking opportunities with experts from the retail industry.

Networking Cocktail (7:30 to 9 p.m.)
Don’t miss this networking opportunity to approach both panellists and attending retailers in the audience! After learning all about your image, and understanding more about the retail industry, what better way to end the day, than with an opportunity to mix and mingle with employers? We will bring together a number of leaders from the retail industry ready to answer your questions and provide information and insight into opportunities within this industry. This will be an informative and interactive day and evening of exchanging ideas and expertise.

Don’t miss this amazing chance to build your personal/professional networks and profile yourself with style!
