I find that some students do not take advantage of our guest speakers and do not understand the importance of networking! A Nanaimo student just got HIRED!! Here is the e-mail she sent our Marketing Rep Yolanda:

“Yesterday I was interviewed for a receptionist position at R.W Wall Let and they offered me the job; which of course I accepted! I start on Monday

As far as I know, the job wasn’t advertised, but Lee Mason passed on my name. I renewed my acquaintance with her when you had her in as a guest speaker, and she suggested I keep in touch. When I completed my studies, I let her know I was looking for work, and this is the outcome. Lesson Learned! Networking works!…” Patricia T

The fact is a lot of the time when applying for a job it’s not what you know but who you know! Congrats to Patricia and to all of our SSCC students when guest speakers come in make the effort to ask questions and a good first impression. Who knows what could happen.
