Wow! What a great event in Dallas, TX. A big thanks to everyone that attended. We had a full house of Big Ten and Michigan State Alumni employed and unemployed, eager to be inspired in their career. The job market in Dallas is soft, as it is everywhere right now, so I really emphasized the power of networking. It is so important to network and connect with people that might hire you, but also help you in your search. I hope everyone went home and wrote down their "10 people I know" list!
John Hill, Career Director MSU Alumni and organizer of event, expanded on this by speaking about LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the premiere networking tool in business today, with over 33 million members worldwide. If you aren't on it, get on it! The site can network you with more people than you thought possible and even help create a connection with someone within the company you are looking to get hired by. This is Key! More importantly, once this connection is made, you need to "take action". For those of you that went home with the book, Chapter 10-Take Action, has great examples on how to succeed. Thanks again and if you have any questions, click on Ask Molly and ask away!
