As students, we focus on our education in the classroom, but do not spend enough time expanding our professional development in order to obtain a job. Although school may keep us busy, it is important to include time for job workshops. By attending job workshops you will:
- Increase your communication skills
- Gain contacts for future use
- Practice speaking with employers and researching companies/organizations
- This can help you determine what you are looking for in an employer and narrow down what you wish to do in the future
- Meet with like minded people to discuss topics of interest
- Ask questions about professional pathways
- Find a JOB!
By meeting face to face with employers you will have a better chance because they will remember you and you won’t just be another name on a page.
