Career Haiku
Our students worry
about finding a career.
Resumes go out.
Employers seeking
the best candidates ever:
Come to my college!
Interviews happen.
Candidates meet employers,
Offers multiply.
HR goes crazy.
Recruiting visits abound
Snagged a 4 point grad!
Student’s searching fails.
No one mentioned “it”.
Try deodorant.
Career fair season,
Do people get jobs from this?
Only if you come.
Networking is key.
Meet as many as you can.
Remember their names?
Negotiate pay,
whoever speaks first could lose.
Win the lottery.
Talk about your goals,
your aspirations and plans.
(See last line above.)

Curiously.....has 'networking' always been the key? Or was there ever a time when it was not who you knew that opened doors? Maybe it has always been that way, only now it is PC
It's always been that way to some extent, but the principle was only widely taught beginning in the '70's. I got my job by answering an ad in the paper. I've been there 20 years. I don't advise my students to do that now, that's for sure.
what...no Saturday post??
