Happy Friday!
Networking -- you've heard the word a lot but do you know why it's important? One of the reasons is because it can help you build relationships with people who can fast track your resume. Did you know that happens and that two-thirds of the time, that person is hired?
There are several events coming up in April that are great for hearing career advice and for networking with people working in professions you are curious about. Have you dreamed about being a movie critic or entertainment writer? Jen Chaney (class of '94) will be on campus talking about her 20 years in print and digital journalism. Interested in media? Check out the forum, Engaging with Media as Citizen Scholars. Want a career that "makes a difference"? The MALMAD Symposium could be ideal for you.
Details and other goodies below.
Cheers,
Anna

Creative Careers Meetup: How to Go the Movies & Watch TV & Get Paid for It
Critic and pop culture writer Jen Chaney, a W&M alum, will talk about what it's like to be a journalist who covers film and television. She'll explain how she got into the field, what kind of job opportunities exist and why it actually is hard (but fun!) to go see Marvel movies and watch Downton Abbey for a living.
