networking with out the ick!

What a great way to put it. This past Thursday my class was privileged to be apart of a lecture series done by the wonderful and talented Cindy Li. Cindy Li is a graphic/web designer who has a degree from the University of Florida in fine arts. She has worked with big names like AOL and Map Quest. She gave her talks specifically in the best way to network and self branding. She made great points like we are all a brand and how we market ourselves is how we sell ourselves when it comes time for getting a job. She talked about all the sites to check out and what is the best way to go about putting yourself out there. Our professor arranged for her to come back to campus to have her answer more questions and clear up some things about what will happen when we graduate. Some of the sites she recommended for us to be on were http://www.linkedin.com/ and http://twitter.com/ (which I’m sure most of us are already on). We hear so much from our professors that it almost becomes second nature to just smile and nod, but when things begin to repeat from outside sources they tend to sink in more and mean something different. Almost like that’s when your begin to believe it.

 

here is her website. everyone should check her out, she is fabulous!
