Mastering Professional Networking & Interviews

Are you struggling with networking conversations that feel forced or unmemorable? Are you unsure how to stand out in interviews beyond just your resume? Brent Pennington, a junior heading to JPMorgan Investment Banking and president emeritus of the Olin Business Council, is delivering a session that many have called “the missing half” of career preparation. This talk goes beyond surface-level networking advice, providing actionable tools to:
Develop meaningful self-awareness – so you can confidently articulate who you are and what you bring to the table
Turn introspection into stronger professional interactions – making networking calls, interviews, and career conversations feel more natural and impactful
Elevate your career approach – so you leave a lasting impression and feel more in control of your professional journey
