Holiday gatherings can be more than social occasions—they can also be opportunities to make new professional connections and discover job leads. Join us for the Holiday Mocktail Party, an interactive workshop focused on building confidence in casual networking situations during the holiday season.

Whether you’re attending a Thanksgiving gathering, holiday party, community event, or New Year’s celebration, this session will help you talk about your job search and career goals in a way that feels natural, comfortable, and professional.

What you’ll practice

• Introducing yourself and your career goals in casual social settings.
• Talking about your job search without sounding rehearsed or uncomfortable.
• Turning everyday conversations into meaningful professional connections.
• Responding confidently when someone asks, “What do you do?” or “What are you looking for?”
• Following up after meeting someone who may be able to help with your job search.

You’ll put these skills into practice in a relaxed “party” setting with representatives from local companies mingling throughout the room. This gives you a chance to practice real-world conversations with employers and professionals in a low-pressure environment.
