5. Introverts and the Job Search: How to Network Your Way to Success

 

Tuesday, October 23, 6-7 p.m.

Career Development Center: 625 North Jordan Avenue

 

Does the sound of "networking" make you nervous? Does meeting strangers and talking about career paths sound exhausting to you? Introverts are those of us who gain energy from within ourselves, rather than through the external environment. Because we tend to be more quietly reflective, it can be daunting to engage in networking and interviewing, two activities that are essential to a successful job search. Join some Career Development Center staff introverts at a workshop where we will address these issues and strategize for success! Topics to be covered include: Networking, Interviewing, and Building Relationships in the Workplace.

 

REQUIRED: Please RSVP through your myIUcareers account, accessible at iucareers.com. Once logged in, click on the "Career Events" tab at top of website and select the event. Click the "Register for Event" button.

Event 1: IU Law School Fair - The Nation's Largest Again Last Year!

11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

 

The Law School Fair puts the student and school together. Representatives (who can influence admission decisions at their schools) are eager to speak one-on-one with students about their specific situations--from LSAT to grades to specialties to personal statement to financial aid needs. Pick up material, souvenirs, and information. Expand your horizons and discover great schools that you may not yet know anything about. Learn first-hand that law schools are truly interested in more than just an LSAT score and GPA! Students typically leave the Fair encouraged and optimistic.

 

Event 2: Panel Discussion with Q&A Session

9 - 10:45 a.m.

 

A panel of Law School Admission Deans, including Frank Motley of IUB's Maurer School of Law reveal: "What REALLY WORKS  in a Law School Application!" They will discuss applicants' common mistakes, what works, what they find annoying, etc. They will offer unique, practical insights into the admission process that will be invaluable for students.
