Stein presents to audience
Professional recruiter and networking extraordinaire, Marica Stein, talked to students about the importance of networking at an event in the Student Union last night. Stein stressed utilizing available tools and opportunities, both online, on sites such as LinkedIn, and in person. Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions throughout the presentation and a number of them stayed after for individual tips.
This event was sponsored by the SJSU Alumni Association as part of its GOLD (graduates of the last decade series). GOLD events offer a wide range of fun and engaging activities meant to help professionals navigate and thrive in the workplace environment. These events will help you answer questions about life as a professional, plus will provide tools on how to build your social and professional networks. In the spring the Association will host its annual etiquette dinner and a seminar on writing your personal statement.
