| Networking
on the Network - "This site, started by a professor at
UCLA, is a starter kit of networking. It has it all: how to use
various mediums to network, why one needs to network, what does
one say, what are the basic steps. It is concise, but effective,
something no graduate student interested in getting a job can ignore.
It is the entrepreneurial model of career management. Advice: use
it." - Jae Chung (Anthropology) MAR2001 |
| How
to Get the Mentoring You Want - "This site, organized and
maintained by University of Michigan,
contains advice for all students, but it is targeted specifically
for students that are traditionally underrepresented in the university
settings. The article recognizes the important role mentoring plays
in the success of graduate education, and sets about to teach its
readers how to form mentoring relationship with faculty, all the
while keeping in sight the special needs of students of underrepresented
communities. Of special interest here is the problem resolution
section. How to spot and resolve problems with mentors, this is
a delicate moment in many graduate students's careers, and the site
has some useful suggestions." - Jae Chung (Anthropology) MAR2001
