Connections Tips

Description:

Being helpful is one of the best ways to connect with others. Share a resource, tool, or idea with fellow job seekers.

Format:

  • Make a 5-minute presentation during a weekly Connections meeting

Benefits:

  • Share your knowledge with others and grow your network
  • Practice your presentation skills
  • Receive 2 personalized meetings with a career advisor to prepare for your presentation

Sample Topics:

  • Networking groups I have found helpful
  • How I contacted former coworkers from years ago
  • Gig jobs: What has worked for me
  • Why and where I volunteer / How volunteering helps my job search
  • I landed a new job! What worked for me
  • A tool I use in my job search [Demo]

Next Steps:

I have never enjoyed a class as much as the NOVA workshop. The instructor was well prepared, possessed excellent presentation skills, was empathetic, and shared the information with humor and enough animation to keep the class actively engaged.
