Once in a great while, you get an opportunity you just can't believe you get. Happened here--last Wednesday night--for three engineering majors. A workshop on resume prep, put together by NSBE and SPHE, started out slow. . .good for the three people in attendance who got to sit down beside reps from Koch and Cessna and talk resumes -- their resumes. More important than their resumes, however, was the fact they had time and opportunity to make connections with some important employers! Over the evening, more students filtered in -- but the advantage went to the three students who were there early, resume in hand, ready to meet people who may be very important to their future.
The message: take advantage of the opportunities you have to make connections! Bottom line: people get jobs through people they know.
