Two career workshops for your October Wednesdays

Featured Events | Oct 05, 2012 | Nicole Gesualdo

If you don’t have afternoon plans for October 10 or October 17, maybe you do now.

The Gabelli School’s Personal and Professional Development Center has coordinated two workshops to help you secure an internship or job — and, in the case of internships, make the most of it when you get one.

When an employer Googles you, what does he or she see? Are you confident that your in-person presentation will help you land the internship or job of your dreams? Are you using social media to connect to people professionally and to build your personal brand — or are you using it in a way that could hurt your job search? Learn how to take charge of your online presence by positively leveraging tools such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, blogging, and even commenting on blogs and news articles. Find out how to present yourself professionally over e-mail and face-to-face in this fun and interactive workshop.
