Hiring is a Two Way Street (Webinar, May 2021)

As we emerge from a global pandemic that has disproportionately impacted women and people of color, how can you ensure a strong match between an employer (and job) and your own values, interests, and identity? 

A panel of Wellesley alumnae shared their stories and expertise from both sides of the table (as talent managers and as employees). Focusing on the interview and negotiation processes, they recommend ways for you to express curiosity, establish trust, learn about cultural fit, and confidently present your authentic self as you take the next step in your career.

  • Fatimah  Gilliam, Esq. ’96, Founder and CEO, The Azara Group
  • Dominique Parris ’08, Interim Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Child Trends
  • Amita Rao ’05 (moderator), Director, Talent Management, Orbis International
