Help your students connect with Puget Sound alumni…please urge your students to attend ASK Night! You can forward the message below to your students.
Why network?
Dr. Phil Gardner, the national expert on the college job market recently visited campus. He emphasized two important issues that students need to know as they prepare to enter the job market:
1. “Building and maintaining professional networks is an essential skill required by employers.”
2. “The primary way employers are hiring is through networking.”
So, you’ll need effective networking skills to find a job. And, once you are employed, you will be expected to network as part of your job. Now is the time to build your professional networks.
