A moment that I will never forget is the first time I visited my school’s career services office. Up until that point, I had been going it alone. Now that I was about to finish school, I thought that it was time to check in with the career services office. After all, they had been promoting their extensive network of business leaders and alumni contacts. Finding that first job in marketing would be a snap, right? After my meeting with a career services staff member, I felt like I was doused with a cold pale of water. I was told that I had to network to find a job (without any concrete examples, beyond the most obvious ways, of how to do so), my resume was ripped apart without any rhyme or reason and I was given a job book to thumb through in the waiting room, featuring old jobs printed from the major public job boards.
