Your Custom TechWalk To-Do List

Welcome to our 9127 Subscribers! 1122 of you joined in the last 4 weeks!

👋 Hello to our new newsletter readers! I’m Christine Farrier Rosemin, Founder of TechWalk and Head of Partner Marketing at Rho. I would love your support with three things:

• Want to be included in upcoming issues of our newsletter? Connect with me on Linkedin. We will be mining my network announcements like new roles, job promotions, product launches, hiring updates, and events to add to this newsletter. Thank you for being such an engaged audience. We are currently seeing open rates above 60% and click-through rates around 10%.

• As an auntie to more than a handful of HS and college-aged nieces and nephews, this NYTimes article outlining a relatively dire jobs outlook for new graduates hit me right in the gut. Mostly because it calls on employers to ensure that early career professionals find a soft landing, when we haven’t even figured out the impact of AI, career planning, and safety for ourselves. I don’t have the answers, but I know internships and maintaining a portfolio of real work before attempting to secure a FT role will be more important than ever. All this to say, if you know a college student who hasn’t yet landed a summer internship, tell them to reach out to [email protected] with their resume, Linkedin profile and a short paragraph on what they would like to learn this summer. We’ll try to help.

• Interested in volunteering with TechWalk yourself? Drop a note to [email protected] and let us know how you can contribute.
