As a recent graduate myself, I must thank my mentors for sharing several of these immensely valuable resources with me when I was in the middle of my own job search. In fact, they have played no small part in helping me discover my current role as Operations Manager @imaginek12!

That said, I’d like to pay it forward. Are you looking for a gig? Tweet @catuongg and let’s chat. Or follow me here, more posts are in the queue about job searching in the edtech industry!
