Professional Associations can provide another excellent networking resource to help keep you up-to-date in your field and learn about job and other professional opportunities.

Polish Your Social Media Skills

As you make your way through the professional world, it becomes more important to review your social media accounts. Identify what information you are making public on your Facebook page and Twitter feed, for example, and know that employers and co-workers can see this information as well. Decide which information you want to share with the outside world—many companies will get their first impression of you by looking at your social media.

We recommend using LinkedIn to connect with other alumni and network with other professionals. Create your profile and join the New York Tech Networking Group. And visit the Office of Career Success and Experiential Education on your campus—where you can get suggestions on how to best use your LinkedIn account to boost your visibility among employers and find the positions you want.

Consider Graduate School

Earning an advanced degree can enhance your range of career opportunities that include:

• Greater employment prospects.
• Better salary.
• More advancement opportunities.
• Professional licensure (in some cases).

Check out our graduate and advanced certificate programs. Career Success and Experiential Education can help identify the programs that align with your professional goals, and we'll assist you with the application process. You may also be eligible for a New York Tech Alumni Scholarship.
