Week Six, Journal Entry

 

• What is your professional networking strategy?
• using Linked In, keeping in contact with people I've briefly met in the professional world, and keeping an updated resume.  LinkedIn is a really professional networking tool used by millions of people a day.  Whether it's looking for a job or looking for employees, linkedin keeps networking easy/. 
• What are your and job search / refinement plans?
• Currently, I'm looking at IT jobs in Arizona for when I move down in August.  Right now, for refinement, I'm going for my Masters in Emergency Management and Homeland Security:Cybersecurity and Policy, so that should help me refine my skills a little bit more. 
• Identify clearly the first step, to be done in the next 2 weeks. You will revisit this in your week 8 Journal Entry.
• My first step will be to contact three potential employers in Arizona to see if I can land a job in IT before I move down.
