Meeting Minutes Sept 29

In case you missed it, at tonight's meeting we...

• Had a guest speaker, Ms. Abbey Wojno, a COMS graduate student who educated us all about making a great professional statement in a short amount of time
• Abbey first talked to us about how to give a proper handshake (& thus make a great first impression). Remember: use your right hand, less than three pumps, eye contact and firmness!
• We learned how to give an excellent "elevator speech," or short speech about yourself that can be quickly pitched to a potential employer
• Abbey gave us time to practice both of these new skills with fellow AWC members

Don't forget that the career fair is next week, so take the skills that Abbey showed us today and show off your super-professional and super-impressive skills to the professionals!
