How To Network and Take Opportunities
As students, we receive lots of help from our professors through out our college experience. But what about after college? Professors are not just resources to us while we are in school, but they are also valuable resources to us when we get out. They can provide us with contacts so that we can network, refer us for internships and jobs and also provide us with reference letters. As adults we need to take the intuitive to make them useful to us. It is not the professors job to ask us if we need anything, we need to come to them.
Students to Professionals: Save and Link Up!
As students your professor told you to always save your work. I’m sure everyone has had that experience where they did a lot of work, perhaps a ten page paper and all of a sudden your computer crashed and your work was gone because you did not save.

I’m sure there were projects and long tedious assignments that you had to do and did well in. Wouldn’t you want to be able to use these as work samples and items on your resume? Well if you don’t save them then how are you going to be able to convey your skills. You spend hours and time doing various assignment , so why not take two seconds to save it?
