JETAA Rocky Mountain completed a successful Career Compass Workshop and Networking event last week. The event featured panelists, Jennifer Basco, Emily Frank, Claudine Locascio, and Takeshi Yamagishi who discussed the Japan-related job market in the Rocky Mountain region, how to translate soft skills learned on JET to your resume, and made the workshop an enlightening and enriching experience.

Co-hosted by JETAA Portland, JETAABC, and JETAA Alaska, the chapters hosted their fourth event in their annual JETAA Bento Workshop series: Onigiri Edition.

Last month, JETAADC hosted its second Alumni Talks panel on Careers in the Private Sector, with three fantastic JET alumni: Kendaal Strailey (Ehime, 2006-2008), Alex Melillo (2012-2015), and Jenny Kai (Nara, 2015-2016). They discussed the importance of networking and the variety of career opportunities in the private sector.
