Welcome to June and WNET CAREER MONTH, sponsored by Green Rhino Recruitment! Your professional development and personal enrichment are important to us, so we’ve created events focused on career advancement. Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to attend a live webinar, roundtable discussion or Q&A session designed to help you move up in your existing company, score that promotion, negotiate a raise, land your dream job and take your career to the next level. Other year-round series, like PayTechWomenLive and the new PayTechWomenLead, connect you with senior leaders to build your career and advance toward your professional aspirations. Start your summer with career success strategies!
