I recently read an article on the Daily Muse in which Jessica Taylor listed non-awkward ways to start and end networking conversations. She offered some great tips for how to stay cool, calm and collected at in-person networking events. Here are some tips Jessica shared:   ]]> http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/16/how-to-rock-a-networking-event/feed/ 1 http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/15/10385/ http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/15/10385/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 18:00:32 +0000 YEC http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/?p=10385 Our friends at YEC asked members of their council this question from a reader… we thought the answers were full of great information.

A great way to start to develop and further your relationship with professors is the end-of-course email. Once you have finished your class and received your grade you have several options to send a quick (yet powerful) email your professors. Check them out and choose the option that best fits your scenario - and start to make those priceless and genuine connections with your professors.    ]]> http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/15/3-important-emails-to-send-to-your-college-professor-now-that-the-course-is-over/feed/ 0 http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/15/does-lying-on-your-resume-ever-pay-off/ http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/15/does-lying-on-your-resume-ever-pay-off/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 14:00:16 +0000 Erica Roberts http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/?p=10388 Someone’s resume pants are on fire.

In light of this problem, some young professionals choose to “enhance” the details of their resume. What happens when a reference check is made? Does lying on your resume pay off?   ]]> http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/15/does-lying-on-your-resume-ever-pay-off/feed/ 0 http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/14/5-keys-to-a-successful-career-path/ http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/14/5-keys-to-a-successful-career-path/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 17:19:26 +0000 WetFeet http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/?p=10377 After catching up with a friend this week and exchanging stories about the working lives and struggles of 20-somethings, he mentioned he was very inspired by a video (see at bottom) he saw featuring Gary Vaynerchuk. Who’s that? So I went home and watched the video, and think it’s worth sharing. Here are five things you need, according to Gary, in order to be successful in whatever career you choose.   ]]> http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/14/5-keys-to-a-successful-career-path/feed/ 0 http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/14/class-of-2012-guide-to-getting-hired/ http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/index.php/2012/05/14/class-of-2012-guide-to-getting-hired/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 16:00:32 +0000 Glassdoor.com http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/?p=10373 It’s that time of year again — graduation time.
