Exercise 28
Complete the following steps:
1. Perform a self-assessment and set objectives. List two or three of your accomplishments. Clearly state your goal, which can be to learn more about career opportunities in your major; to get an internship; to get a part-time, summer, or full-time job; and so on.
2. Create your one-minute self-sell. Write it out. See page 390 for an example.
History:
Plan:
Question:
3. Develop your network. List at least five people to be included in your network, preferably people who can help you achieve your objective.
4. Conduct networking interviews. To help meet your objective, select one person to interview by phone if it is difficult to meet in person for a personal 20-minute interview.
List the person and write questions to ask during the interview. This person can be someone in your college career center or a professor in your major.
Objective: To develop networking skills by implementing the steps in the networking process.
AACSB: The primary AACSB learning standard skills developed through this exercise are reflective thinking and communication abilities.
Experience: You will deliver your one-minute self-sell from the preparation and get feedback for improvement. You will also share your network list and interview questions and get feedback for improvement.
A. Break into groups of two. Show each other your written one-minute self-sell. Is the history, plan, and question clear (do you understand it?), concise (does it take 60 seconds or less to say?), and compelling (does it generate interest in helping?)? Offer suggestions for improvement.
B. After the self-sell is perfected, each person states (no reading) the one-minute self-sell. Was it stated clearly, concisely, and with confidence? Offer improvements. State it a second and third time, or until told to go on to the next procedure. Break into groups of three with people you did not work with during procedure 1. Follow steps A and B above in your triad. Repeating your self-sell should improve your delivery and confidence.
Break into groups of four with people you did not work with during procedures 1 and 2, if possible. Share your answers to preparation steps 3 (your network list) and 4 (your interview questions). Offer each other improvements to the list and the questions.
Application (outside of class): Expand your written network list to at least 25 names.
Conduct the networking interview using the questions developed through this exercise.
Conclusion: The instructor leads a class discussion and/or makes concluding remarks. Written network lists and/or interview questions and answers may be passed in.
Sharing: Volunteers may share what they have learned about networking.
