Building Your Network Step by Step

Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Location: Mary Gates Hall, 234

Dozens of studies suggest that the most effective way to find employment opportunities is networking.  Serious job-seekers take initiative to make themselves known by others who might have job leads, contacts, or advice.  A common problem with networking is that many people are afraid of it or unsure how to go about it. In this workshop, we’ll show you how to build your network of professional contacts in a step by step manner using family, alumni, professional associations, and more.

Bring your lunch and join ALISS for an information session during our first open meeting of the 2008-2009 academic year.  Spend some time meeting the ALISS officers, members of your cohort and other students in the MLIS program here at the iSchool.  We will introduce you to ALISS and talk about the year to come--hey you have to eat, why not do it with ALISS?

Students in all of the iSchool’s programs work on group projects in various capacities during their program.  There is much research and information  available about how to be effective in working this way with classmates; it is a skill, and it can be learned!  Better yet, it is a practice that will benefit you now as a  student as well as in the future.  Come begin the process.  Facilitated by the Center for Instructional Development and Research (CIDR) staff.
