Testimonials:
"I was very fortunate to have John M O'Meara as my mentor. During mentoring, John provided me invaluable insights on how to navigate the job search during COVID-19. I learned about how to build meaningful networks and what “homework” to do before I seek out an informative interview. In addition, John guided me to build my personal brand and develop a 90-day plan to prepare myself for my long term goals of becoming a Marketing Communications Manager. Most importantly, I landed an internship eventually by following John’s advice. It’s a great stepping stone for me to gain hands-on experience and get closer to my dream job. The Mentoring Program was a great success and I really appreciate the efforts BAARC and sfBIG have invested. Thank you so much to BAARC and sfBIG for organizing the Mentorship Program."
