Networking
“I have two recurring nightmares. In one, I am suddenly back in my high school biology class. I realize I haven’t done a bit of the assigned reading all semester just as the teacher passes out our final exam. Scary, but a cakewalk compared to the other dream: I am all alone in the middle of a cocktail party, buck naked save for the lone pig-in-a-blanket and blaringly pink Cosmo in my shaking hands. The room full of movers and shakers stands around me, pointing and laughing.
What makes the second dream so frightening is that it could happen. Well, maybe not in the literal sense—I don’t normally attend professional events in the nude. But we’ve all experienced that feeling of being completely exposed and alone in a crowd, especially at work-related soirees, where the pressure to perform hangs ominously over our heads.
Unless you were born with the gift of gab, the thought of small-talking your way to networking success probably makes you feel like you just ate an undercooked cocktail weenie. But fear not, shy one—with a few simple tips, you’ll be able to schmooze with the best of them—and still have your dignity in the morning.”

Dear Awesome MU Student,
You made it to the AMU Ballrooms. Someone has just handed you a guidebook, a nametag, and a plastic bag. Now what? Try these concrete tips to get what you need out of the Career Fair:
Prepare for the Fair:
Write a resume highlighting skills and experiences related to your goal
Locate the guidebook online and scan for employers seeking students like you; do your research
Pull together a professional outfit, preferably a business suit (note: this can be borrowed from a friend)
Your 60 Second Commercial:
This will arm you with all you need to begin an intelligent and effective conversation with employers.
Where you are now (degree, program, year in college)
Where you have been (career-related experience, leadership experience, part-time work experience)
Where you are going (future goals)
"Hello. I'm Dot and I will graduate in 2007 with my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication. As a student here at Marquette, I have had the chance to gain leadership and organizational skills through my involvement in the ABC Club. In addition, I have worked for two years as a server at the Annex allowing me to gain valuable customer service experience. I am seeking an internship in the field of public relations for next summer. Can you share with me any opportunities within your organization that might fit with my skills and experience?"
Things to Bring:
Copies of your resume (25-50 depending on size of event and number of employers you’d like to approach).
A smile, strong handshake and positive attitude.
Your 60-second commercial to introduce yourself and highlight your qualifications.
Information about the organizations that you will be approaching.
A hardcover notepad portfolio and/or professional briefcase for resumes, company information, business cards and notes (you can always write your list of questions for employers here).
Sincerely,
CSC Staff
