Navigating the GEOINT Career Landscape
        
Sue Kalweit, former senior associate for culture and leadership excellence, NGA, will moderate the panel.
Whether you are a young professional, a mid-career GEOINTer, or a student, this event will show you how to best posture yourself to be an attractive job candidate in the GEOINT Community. The event will include a panel of experts sharing insights on do’s and don’ts for successfully navigating recruiting and hiring activities, both in person and online. After the panel, participants will break out into a trio of different “stations” offering more hands-on advice and workshopping for résumés, networking (both in person and online), and interviews. The event will also include networking time, during which participants can immediately put into practice what they learned.
