Top Five Job Hunting/Networking Tips at NASPA
This week's blog will be short as I'm currently on a train to Baltimore for NASPA. As I mentally prepare myself for the overwhelming maniacal whirlwind that is to come, I want to share a top five tips list that I've put together culling from a variety of websites. I hope to knock off as many of these as I can during NASPA and I will expand on them/share my success and failure for next week's blog. So here we go:
5) Use social media to connect with and compliment the speakers (via LinkedIN)
4) Forget just giving out business cards - collect them (via LinkedIN)
3) Ask meaningful questions of the people you meet (via LinkedIN)
2) SMILE (via Bridgewater State University)
1) Establish goals: pursue depth of knowledge, network, or learn something new (via Chronicle of Higher Education)
Here we go!
This is the 9th year StudentAffairs.com has asked two graduate students, going through their first job search process, to share their thoughts and feelings and chronicle their ups and downs as they pursue their initial student affairs position.
