3. and they may be able to refer you to other contacts in their industry.

PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

• Professional association meetings and conferences are a great way to learn about trends, make new connections and find out about job opportunities.

• At your internships and when you conduct informational interviews, ask your advisors and contacts for information about their professional associations. You may be able to attend as their guest, and the opportunity to meet other professionals in the field is invaluable. Professionally affiliated listservs and newsgroups connect networks of professionals within a career field by computer. Listserves and newsgroups are used by professionals to gather information, share opinions and even disseminate job listings.
