Alumni Perspectives on Upwardly Global

"Thanks to UpGlo I understood what networking and a thorough job search mean. Now, by participating in setting up the UpGlo Alumni Club that would facilitate networking amongst professional immigrants, I want to give back the knowledge and support I once received." Magdalena Gruettner, Poland

"My relations with Upwardly Global have always been a great source of learning about professional life in the US. At the beginning, I was skeptical that the networking events, trainings and informational interviews can actually result in the dream job with an American company. Now, I know that without UpGlo I wouldn't be able to connect with my mentor, and other immigrant professionals and have doors open for interviews in the top companies." Polina Istomina, Ukraine
