Networking Tips for the Grad Student Job Search
What’s so important about networking or building career connections? People land jobs through people. It is estimated that when it comes to job search, 70% or so of people landed a position through their network. In this workshop we’ll explore what that means for you and give you practical tips that you can use now to continue to strengthen and build your career connections.
We’ll help you to answer these questions:
· What kinds of networking should I be doing?
· What’s an informational interview, and how can I make the most of them?
· Do I need a pitch or elevator speech? How do I share "my story"?
· Is networking on social media beneficial for someone in my particular field?
If you want to enhance your job search with more networking, join us for a dynamic session with guest speaker Sabrina Woods, an experienced career development specialist who has a passion for both networking and teaching lively sessions.
