Mega Issue 112 update
After conducting a poll the MI 112 team realized a great deal of members are unaware of the current services SWE provides for them. There is a SWE career site where any SWE member may upload their resume and look for positions which were posted by employers.
Many collegiate members think that the webinars are only for professional members, but this is not true. There are many webinars for both collegiate and professional members, and several targeted the collegiate member only. I encourage all members to use these webinars; they are free for members and may help with interviewing skills, career fair tips, building a strategic network, etc. They also make great meeting topics as they are simple to replay at a section meeting and can be paused where appropriate for discussion.
Our poll showed a majority found their job through networking thus leading us to believe networking is important in a professional career.
This is a great reason to attend a conference, meeting and career fair, i.e. ABJ, Annual, and Region Conferences also provide workshops which may strengthen skills and provide opportunities for jobs.
