Station 1: Speed Mock Interview – this is a casual setting to help you sit with professionals who will help you overcome your interview anxieties and learn some basic interviewing skills that will get you ready for the real ones that you will soon be facing. The rotating speed interviews will also be great practice to prepare you for then making an appointment at Career Services on campus to conduct a more lengthy, one on one, interview simulation in the near future.

 

Stations 2 & 3: Resume/Comp Card Station featuring guest faculty from the Business and Communication departments who will be advising you on the most current resume formats including when and where it is appropriate to also include a comp card.

 

Station 4: LinkedIn Station – You can either get help setting up a LinkedIn profile or help developing your current one to aid you in attracting job prospects in your future career field. Also, if you do not have a professional headshot, you have come to the perfect place as we will have a professional photographer available to take yours for free.

 

Station 5: Social Media Photo Booth – Stop here and have some fun taking some pics with our Giant Selfie Photo Frame. While you’re here, make sure to follow us on social media and get your card stamped before moving on to our final station. Don’t forget to use our hashtag #NW2GW – the best post will earn a prize from the Wildcat Shop.

 

Station 6: Testimonial/Feedback Station - We want to hear about your experience. This is the first Network to Get Work, so please stop and tell us what you loved, but also share what else you would possibly like to see included in future years.  When you arrive here, you will earn your chance to win a passport prize (while inventory allows) and also be added into a drawing for our Wildcat Shop grand prizes.

 

Did we mention that this event is 100% FREE? It most certainly is – thanks to our wonderful sponsors: CWU College of Arts and Humanities and the CWU Wildcat Shop. Along with prizes, we will also have sweet treats and drinks available while supplies last.

 

Network to Get Work is not only fun but beneficial to you and your future career. You will gather all the tools you need to feel confident walking into the job market once you graduate. It’s never too late to start planning for your bright futures.  Don’t be shy - stop on by and we’ll help you prepare to get that job!
