Secrets from CLA Alumni: How to Network  Friday, April 8th, 3:00-4:30pm; The Beacon Room, University Recreation & Wellness Center Sign up through the "Career Fairs/Events" section on GoldPASS (event ID: 2916)  CLA students and recent graduates (May 2014 or after) are invited to connect with more than 20 CLA alumni to learn how to effectively network. Students are constantly told to “network, network, network!” For some, networking comes naturally. For others, it is hard to know where to begin. During this event, students and alumni will have the opportunity to learn how to network and practice! The event will answer questions such as, “How do I first engage an individual?”, “What is the proper etiquette surrounding food and drinks at a networking event?”, and “How do I exit a conversation?”. The last half hour of the event will be an open networking period for students and alumni to put their newly acquired networking advice into practice. Refreshments will be provided by French Meadow Bakery Café. All registered guests will receive a professional padfolio. 6. CLA Practice Interview Day Friday, April 15th; choose your own time! Sign up through the "Interview on Campus" section on GoldPASS.  Want to improve your interviewing skills for jobs/internships?
