>Confused about what major to pursue and stressed by the upcoming

>you are considering. This workshop will take you through the basics- 
>Who should you talk to get the information you need? What resources

>Self Assessment for Graduate Students,  Thursday, March 18,

>interests, and transferable skills - which graduate students possess

>Did you know that 83% of employers use the internet to find 
>information about potential employees? Are you on Facebook but not 
>on Linkedin? Discover how to create your own personal brand using 
>social media instead of just aimlessly applying for jobs. In this 
>workshop we will focus on the do's and don'ts when using Linkedin 
>and tips to build valuable connections. In addition, you will leave 
>this workshop with the knowledge of how to diagnose, manage and 
>monitor your web presence while developing connections with people 
>who can make your professional goals a reality. Learn how to 
>establish a strong web presence that will impress employers, 
>colleagues and industry leaders.
