Career Connection combines the power of the Web with the power of the face-to-face meeting! Don’t miss out on the hottest job opportunities and meet face-to-face at the 2009 SLA Annual Conference & INFO-EXPO.
You need to understand what you should do before, during and after Career Connection…and then follow through.
Before
• Develop a strong resumé- Listen to Podcast, “Creating Powerful Resumé” by Marshall Brown, Marshall Brown & Associates
• Get or make business cards
• Research the organizations attending Career Connection
• Develop a 30-second commercial about yourself
During
• Introduce yourself and shake hands
• Dress appropriately
• Ask intelligent questions
• Focus on what you can offer
• Leave your resumé and card with each representative
After
• Take notes about the conversation
• Follow up on commitments for more information
• Send thank-you notes
Your small investment of time and effort—before, during and after—might very well turn into an opportunity you would not otherwise have had.
Don't forget… to register for the SLA conference in Washington, D.C. from June 13 to June 17 while the Early Bird prices are still in effect. Until April 3, all members of SLA can register at preferential rates. See you in D.C.!
