Editor's Notes
- FindSpark is a program that allows young creatives and entrepreneurs to build and apply certain networking skills to events and their daily life to create connections which help people grow and attain their dream job. This can be useful for anyone going into the business world, as well as any other field. The connections you make help launch you to a career path of success. This is very important if you’re really driven to get somewhere.
- Even though Emily majored in graphic design – admits she isn’t the best graphic designer – she chases after her entrepreneurial dream and creates this organization called FindSpark to help other people discover their dream jobs.
- Missed some of the resume building workshops hosted by Career services? Don’t fret, FindSpark has virtual events to help you with creating the best possible resume.
- Why are business cards so important? Do you need one? The answer is YES. Regardless If you’re a graphic designer, communications entrepreneur, cards help get your information out to create new connections in a memorable kind of way.
- Length: Your resume should remain a certain length (to fill one whole page) in order to be short, concise, to the point. At the same time as being short, the experience you list within your resume should be relevant to the job you’re applying for.
- A young lady who attended a FindSpark event was able to connect and network with someone who worked at MRY: a creative and technology agency dedicated to making brands more marketable and giving clients remarkable buisness results. Whether it’s a small company, or a big company, by voicing your accomplishments on social media, you make yourself seem more personable and it allows you to share what you’ve done - allowing all of your followers to see.
- Instead of tagging the company, such as “Reddit” Emily CEO of FindSpark tweets directly to the co-founder of Reddit, to which he replies to her and they are able to connect. In the second example, Emily tweets Caldwell Tanner, who stars in several college humor videos, to come to a conference event and is able to connect with him as well. Sometimes if you really want to reach out to someone on social media, you need to tag their name so that there is the possibility of them seeing your post – as long as it’s something worth responding to. Be smart about what you post, because someone “big” on social media, just might see it!
