Recapping NYCreative Interns’ Interview Workshop for Job Seekers
Last night I co-hosted the NYCreative Interns roundtable at WECREATENYC to discuss real-world interview tips for college students and graduates. Panelists’ background included freelance photography, corporate consulting and management, web and media, and of course social strategy. As a young professional myself, I couldn’t help but throw in my two cents on how to best land on your feet or plan out your next career move. So, I took to Twitter to pool tips from the panelists, share our vision at WECREATE, and of course discuss my own experience on job hunting. Below is an aggregated list of advice for those on the job hunt:

After the event ended, I started thinking about next week’s worldwide JellyWeek, a celebration of the coworking movement around the world. For me, coworking has opened the doors to many career opportunities, most importantly securing clients simply by word of mouth. For young people in the job market, coworking presents an excellent incentive for networking, contact introductions and leads, and first-hand experience into day-to-day projects with other professionals. I hope that more of us in this type of career transition discover coworking to be a valuable asset to the job search as I have. In the meantime, I’ll be here to lend a hand.
