The people at the Career Fair are interested enough in Bucknell students to take the time out of their day to speak with […]

I was one of the many students caught between the struggle of gaining both experience and education. Employers were looking for students to be well educated and to have the necessary experience. Well how can you do these two things at once? Inevitably, at some point one needs to give in order for the other to be gained. This is when I heard about, “that great summer program Molly did.” Well this “great summer program” that one of my soccer teammates, Molly, could not stop ranting and raving about was Institute for Leadership & Technology Management (ILTM). She briefly explained […]

from Ramen Noodles, Rent and Resumes by kristen The term “networking” gets a lot of slack. Most new grads are eager to start networking but aren’t sure how. And if you’ve been in the professional world for a few years, you probably don’t keep up with networking unless you have been recently unemployed. Regardless, I enjoyed this article, “Thirteen Networking Mistakes.” In it, the author discusses being “clueless” about networking. I didn’t smarten up about the goal of networking–or the importance of selecting the right network–until I dove in. I attended a meeting of a local media/PR group a few […]

Just like there are 50 ways to leave your lover there are 50 ways to use Twitter as a job search tool. I know that many of you have not jumped on the tweeting bandwagon with quite the same enthusiasm as Facebook but, if I’ve said it once I’ve said it *50* times, you shouldn’t ignore Twitter. Every where I turn these days people are talking about Twitter. Just yesterday in the New York Times there was an article discussing how to use Twitter for work, not diversion. Among other things Twitter is increasingly becoming a place to help with […]

Last week at the presentation from the Intern Queen, she gave several great pointers and tips regarding interviewing. One of which was about the increasingly popular Skype interview. Here is my take on her tips: Always Wear Pants: This is a good lesson for life in general but we’ll just stick to the reasons why in regards to interviewing. You may think because you are sitting down in front of desk you won’t be able to see your legs but this is not a guarantee so let’s just err on the side of caution and put some pants on. Be […]
