Stop wasting your time in ineffective networking meetings. Informational interviews can be a critical piece, not just to your success in your job search, but in your efforts to gain a promotion, advance in your career, or achieve any career goal. Most professionals have heard of informational interviews but they don’t know how to conduct them correctly. Done well, these interviews can provide you with the insider advice you need to understand what a new career path is like or, how to achieve your goals in your current position. If you’ve heard about informational interviews but don’t truly know how they work, join us to learn: How to find the connections to conduct the interviews, what to say to set them up, how to effectively handle your time together, and how to stay in touch.

Level V Atlanta, Tula Street Northwest, Atlanta, GA, United States
The English Opens Doors Program’s Volunteer Initiative, is a fee-free opportunity from the Chilean Ministry of Education, supported by the United Nations Development Programme-Chile. The English Opens Doors Program is seeking native and near-native English speaking volunteers (above the age of 21) to teach English in coordination with Chilean teachers of English in public schools throughout Chile. Volunteers will work independently with students from 11 to 18 years old, and no previous teaching experience is needed to apply!
English Opens Doors Program volunteers spend approximately 35 hours per week focusing on developing students’ communicative abilities in English using a dynamic teaching style, facilitating intercultural exchange, and generally making English fun to learn! Volunteers will gain real teaching experience in a Latin American country through a United Nations sponsored program, while simultaneously learning (or improving their) Spanish-language abilities and getting to know an incredible country with a wealth of cultural and geographical beauty. More importantly, the English Opens Doors Program will give volunteers the opportunity to make a positive impact in a public school community, and to change their own lives in the process.
For more information about this volunteer initiative, please check out our website at: http://www.centrodevoluntarios.cl/
