Online Networking Events
Fall 2017
How it works:
Online networking enables you to speed-network no matter where you are in the world. You can sign in from your home, office, library, phone or tablet. The chats are text-based and timed, allowing you to make connections, exchange contact information, and end the hour with several new connections you didn't have before. After the chats, add your new contacts to your network by adding them to your LinkedIn networks or following up via email.
Students/Alumni: You may enter one (or more) booths to begin chatting with an employer.
Booths may be broken down by the following topics:
-Industry
-Majors
-Topics
A transcript of your conversations will be saved for you to access after each event, so you can look back at your chat history, review your notes, gather contact information and follow up. If you are interested in learning about other networking opportunities, visit www.career.uga.edu.
Here are some ideas on how to get the conversation started:
* Can I ask for your advice on ____?
* What helps a student stand out at the career fair?
* What tips would you give on making a good first impression?
* What should I bring to the career fair?
* How should I follow up with an employer who I connected with at the fair?
* What did you study at UGA?
* What do you do professionally?
* Why did you decide to participate in this event?
* How did you get into your industry area?
* Can I ask for your advice on ____?
* What's your favorite memory on campus?
* If you could do one thing differently in your career, what would it be?
