6月23日，11位面试嘉宾和其他参与就业安置的个人与17名皇冠app学院的学生一起在社区活动室参加了一个独特的活动，旨在为即将进入劳动力市场的学生提供网络实践和建设性的批评。 The students are currently enrolled in Goodwin’s Environmental Studies, Health Science, Human Services, Management and Leadership, Medical Assisting, Nursing, Ophthalmic Science, and Respiratory Care 学位课程.

As the guests sampled a variety of frozen “mocktails,” the prospective employees navigated the challenges of networking in a social setting. Coordinating business cards and folders, and balancing drinks and hors d’oeuvres — all the while maintaining a calm and professional demeanor — the students maneuvered through an event that, at times, seemed part networking and part speed-dating.

皇冠app是一个以职业为中心的社区，让学生成为受欢迎的员工。 帮助学生了解除了获得证书或学位之外的求职过程是至关重要的，保持自己的风格也是如此。 “For some of us, our goal was to meet with seven different people,” said one student. “In my case, I didn’t reach that many because I met with one employer who was extremely helpful in my search, so that seemed the best use of my time tonight.”

对无酒精鸡尾酒体验的总体反应是非常积极的，学生们学会了具体的策略和一般的求职智慧。 “Do what you love and make it marketable!” was one student’s take-away.

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in such a professional and enlightening event,”said student Katie Guilmette. “It was well worth the effort I needed to put into it from a participant’s perspective, and I hope it will continue to be offered to students. I look forward to future experiences with Goodwin’s Career Services.”

“It’s important for our students and graduates to be professionally groomed and job-ready to meet employer expectations. We are especially proud when the employers who attended our event commented about their positive interactions,” said Patricia Shaw, Goodwin’s Career Services Director. “We look forward to hosting another mocktails networking event in the future. Our team will continue to support and prepare our students to present themselves as the best candidates in their job searches.”

“Events like this bring the mission of Goodwin College to life — building bridges between education, commerce, and community,” said Brooke Penders, Goodwin’s Vice President of Advancement. “When we can bring our hard-working students together with caring people from the community who know the value of networking, and its importance in landing a job in your chosen field, it’s a perfect connection for everyone.”

嘉宾面试官对第一次活动的反应同样积极。 “Thank you so much for inviting me to attend,” said life coach Stacey Zackin. “I felt really proud to be here and honestly privileged to meet the other participants.”

“This networking event is one of many ways we support our job-seeking students,” said Stephanie Hertz, Career Services Placement Specialist. “At a 注重职业发展机构 such as Goodwin College, it’s imperative to give our students and graduates real-world experience to prepare them for their careers. The ability to network well is a skill that, through practice, will set our students and graduates up for a lifetime of success.”
