    Brew & Banter: The Black Hole of Job Searching

    ☕ Brew & Banter: The Black Hole of Job Searching

    This month, we’re diving into the question everyone asks… but no one answers the same way: Job Boards, Recruiters, LinkedIn… or Networking — what actually works?

    • The truth: there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
    • The advantage: knowing how to use each channel strategically.

    Join us for a relaxed virtual coffee chat where admin professionals share real-world insights on job searching—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how to approach your search with intention.

    Because sometimes, the best career advice doesn’t come from a job post… it comes from a conversation.

    When: Friday, May 22 | 3:00 PM EST
    Where: Google Meet | Free & open to everyone

    Bring your favourite beverage, your expertise, and maybe a question or two.
