Network on Campus |
|
Peter Vogt |
There's no
better job Search or career exploration strategy than
networking. But many college students think of
networking as attending schmaltzy get-togethers dressed
in uncomfortable clothes, giving out business cards with
the left hand and shaking hands with the right, and all
the while trying to act interested and interesting.
However, networking doesn't have to turn your stomach.
In fact, as a college student, you have a home field
advantage of sorts, because you're on a college campus,
where you're surrounded by easily accessible networking
venues. Check out some of the possibilities.
Student Organizations
Most campuses sponsor student organizations of all
kinds, including groups affiliated with state and/or
national professional associations. For example, the
Public Relations Student Society of America, the college
affiliate of the Public Relations Society of America,
has chapters at more than 250 colleges and universities
across the US. Similarly, the Society for Human Resource
Management has student chapters at more than 400
schools.
Many of these groups hold monthly or quarterly events on
campus, featuring working professionals who talk to
students about industry career options and trends.
Attend one of these events, or better yet, help organize
one. You'll be in direct contact with people who can
point you toward job or internship possibilities, career
options or both.
Professors
Your professors' lives extend outside academia. Their
career-related pursuits and professional connections
could be in business, the nonprofit sector or government
agencies. Your business administration professor, for
instance, might be the founder of a local company or on
the board of a nonprofit agency that intrigues you.
Remember too that professors in a particular academic
department know which employers tend to hire that
department's graduates. More than likely, these
professors also keep in touch with alums who are now
thriving in the world of work. So a 15-minute chat with
one of your instructors could be more fruitful than you
think.
Student Services Professionals
Your school employs dozens of student services
professionals who work directly with students, such as:
Residence life professionals, who run the campus
residence halls.
Campus activities professionals, who set up educational
and recreational events for you and your fellow
students.
Counseling and health services professionals, who take
care of your mental and physical health needs.
Add to the mix the career services professionals at your
school's career center, who interact not only with
students but also employers.
All of these professionals ultimately work for you,
since their salaries are largely funded by your tuition
and fee dollars. Much more importantly, they enjoy
helping college students. Let them help you.
Fellow Students
Your fellow students know people who matter, and people
who matter know your fellow students. In fact, many
employers who hire college students for internships and
jobs recruit by talking to students they've already
brought on board.
"Once we find a great student worker, we always turn to
them first to see if they have any friends they can
recommend," says Terese Corey Blanck, director of
student services for Student Experience, a suburban St.
Paul company that places college students into
internships.
Sure, your roommate can be annoying sometimes. But he,
like many other people on campus, might be the key
networking contact you've been looking for.
"The point is that everyone has contacts," says Jerry
Houser, director of the Career Development Center at
California Institute of Technology (Caltech). "They just
need you to ask the right questions, and they can often
come up with lots of names."
