It’s been great to catch up with some of you about the status of your career search. If we have not met recently -- or do not have an appointment scheduled -- would you please…
- Make an appointment with me over the next couple of weeks!
This is the point in the semester, where I would like to “check-in” with each of you. You should all have time to schedule a 30-minute appointment with me. If for some reason, you cannot meet with me before the Thanksgiving break…
- Please send me an email updating me on your job search
- Which companies are you applying to?
- Do you have any upcoming scheduled interviews? (if not, then you need to get another resume review)
- Do you have a job offer or have accepted a job offer? (if so, let’s review it together)
- Are you connecting with alumni / professionals for informational interviews?
- Are you following your LAMP list process?
- Is there anyone that we can help connect you with?
