Networking....we've got you covered
Think about it.
You're a junior or a senior in the Park School.
Chances are good you want to work in the communications industry (just guessing).
New York City happens to be one of the key centers of that industry.
And it also happens to be the workplace of many of our most valuable and generous alumni.
If you were to go to New York on your own, though, it would be pretty hard to get in to see some of these folks; they're busy, they're important, and yes, they're Parkies - but they ARE important and busy.
But no worries.
The Park School has you covered.
You have the opportunity to travel to the city over winter break to spend two days visiting some of our alumni in their workplaces, interacting with them and their colleagues, distributing your resume, and networking in a way that has in the past led to internships and jobs for the students smart and ambitious enough to pursue them.
It's called the NEW YORK CITY NETWORK DAYS.
This year, it's scheduled on January 9-10.
Here are the details:
This is a one-credit opportunity for senior & junior Park majors to explore careers with alumni professionals. During the required two days you will visit the following organizations to learn directly from professionals about their industry, careers in the field, and tips on how to obtain work and/or internships -- to name a few. You will experience and learn from:
Nice Shoes, Post-production video/editing, www.niceshoes.com
