Networking

The last time I had a very successful networking opportunity I would say was a very fortunate night when I attended the PHC mock tail event. For those of you who do not know, PHC is the council that meets and conducts business across all 5 Drexel sororities-basically they help keep everything fair and balanced across the board. In an effort to "make peace" and network with other members of other sororities PHC sponsored a networking/hang out mock tail night hosted at Delta Zeta sorority house.

Every time I go somewhere I try to be rather outgoing and friendly. Luckily for me I sat beside a girl by the name of Jill and we got to talking about the sororities, Drexel overall, and co-op. While talking about co-op opportunities and interviews I had been on and had yet to go to I mentioned SHM. I thought that she was going to get sick she was so ecstatic about me interviewing at SHM. After a few minutes of her explaining what a great company SHM was to work for she introduced me to Meredith.

Meredith was just as nice and as ecstatic about SHM and what great opportunities you could receive from working here. Both of the girls made me more confidence about coming to my last interview of B round, SHM. Furthermore, it was nice learning more about SHM and what it is like to work there before even going to the interview.

What came out of this networking opportunity? Well I am one of the new MAs :) What I learned was to still be nice to everyone and be yourself. By meeting new people and being friendly I got to not only learn more about them but also about the companies they had worked for. Luckily for me they had both worked at SHM.
