Who did you connect with at the event? (Photocopy of business card or name should be attached to this sheet)

You need to have meaningful conversations (at least 4 questions each) with a minimum of 2 people at the
event that you do not already know. Outline who you spoke with specifically, why you chose them and
summarize what you discussed.

I connected with mainly two people at this event. One person is Mr. Perla Jaurji. He is a community
engagement specialist. Also, he is working in the company called Tweed. I met with him and talked to him.
As a community engagement specialist, he spoke more with me and shared his experiences. He
suggested me to create a community in this country. He told me to find people around me and get into a
community. He said finding people from a church is a good way of creating connections. Because, there
will be a lot of people in that community and it is easy to interact with them. Moreover, he suggested some
clubs and other networking programs where more people gather.

The second person I met from the event was Ms. Yuliya Slavnova. She is working in the company called
Hardskills. She was so talkative and she explained the working of her company. They are developing
various applications for mobiles. She said she was so hardworking and was so interested in technical
fields. She followed that interest and tried to get job in the same filed. While studying she concentrated
more on technologies. It was her passion to work in that filed. She told to follow my passion and
concentrate in that, so it will become easier to learn and work. She mentioned about working with team.
Because at first she was so reluctant to work in groups. But, later knowing about the necessities of modern
life she realized the need for team work. And she could improve that with the help of her friends. I was so
impressed with her life experience because it was very inspirational and motivational.

Summarize your experiences with this event: what did you learn about yourself, what areas can you
improve upon (soft skills and hard skills) and how does this fit in with your overall career plan for
yourself? (Maximum 200 words):
I really enjoyed this networking event. I could meet more people in this event. Experience from the past event
helped me to mingle with more people. I learnd how to network with people and talk more with them. All of
them shared their experiences and told about how hard they worked to become successful in life. Some of them
even inspired me because the way they became a professional in their field was very hard. This time I could
connect some of them with LinkedIn. They were happy to share their profiles. With this event experience I
learned that I need to create new communities and friends in Canada. I understood how to get into communities
such as church community and clubs. So, it will be easy to make new connections. This time it was easy to
interact with more people. I could meet people from different communities and countries. Many of them were
from outside of Canada but, they have got good jobs in their own field. They came here before and learned
about Canadian communities and culture. As one person at the event suggested I know that I need to follow my
dreams and passion and I need to work hard to become successful in that field. They told me to learn more
about my job position and field. So, it can help to develop a good understanding about the job and the required
qualifications and qualities for that job. Interacting with more people helps to learn about different people’s
behavior. Later that will be helpful to work in team. I understood that there are a lot of things to do to become a
professional in the field. From their behavior, I could learn how professionals behave, talk, and interact. All
those things were so helpful to develop my career and personality and am thankful to
them._____________________________________________________________________________________
