Being able to discuss current events with a potential employer has
become an increasingly sought after skill.
Additionally, a daily regimen of reading (via app, daily emails,
newspaper) can reveal opportunities to meet face-to-face with potential employers,
also giving an edge on the job search.
In a recent meeting with fellow career advisors, we discussed how
there is a ton of useful information out there, but students we meet with often
seem overwhelmed.
We started discussing the ways each of us source information to
stay current on what’s happening in the world and up-to-date on employment
trends. What we found was that each of
us has a different approach, but each approach works.
