About this event

Nivan Community welcomes you to our holiday gathering: an evening to end the year with a sharper portfolio and a room full of people who get your work. Portfolio + Social comes in two parts. First, sit down with senior design and research leaders for fast, focused 1:1 reviews of your portfolio, resume, or career story. Then close the laptop and celebrate the season with the community. ‼️‼️ IMPORTANT: Register on Luma to reserve your spot Luma: [https://luma.com/nivanportfolio](https://luma.com/nivanportfolio) Review spots are limited and confirmed only through Luma. How the reviews work Four to six senior design and research leaders will be stationed around the room. You'll have short 1:1 sessions of 10 to 12 minutes and rotate between reviewers.

Bring whatever you want feedback on: your portfolio, your resume, how you position your career, or the case study you can't quite get right. The evening Doors open at 5:00 PM. Portfolio reviews run from 5:15 PM to about 6:30 PM, then we move into the holiday social with drinks, networking, and good company until 8:00 PM. What to bring Your portfolio on a charged laptop or tablet or a link ready to share, your resume as a PDF, and one question you want answered before the new year. WiFi is available at the venue. 🎀 Dress code Holiday cocktail. Think sequins, shine, and sharp. Cocktail dresses, sparkle, velvet, metallics, or a sharp suit or blazer all fit the mood.
