Try joining GABWA or whatever the right affinity group is for you. It tends to be easier to form relationships in person.

I did join GABWA and I’m on the email list, but I haven’t really seen too many in person activities this year.

Are you looking for a mentor for TILPP? You can also do it without a mentor. As for a job, just keep applying. It’s a competitive market but something will stick.

Nope. Just a mentor to learn from. I’ve completed TILPP.
