Networking Wednesday: Job Shadowing



Job shadowing is a great way to observe a day in the life for a career you are interested in. This is perfect if you are considering a few different careers and don’t know which one would be best for you.

Students need to begin by researching local professionals and finding a position that is interesting to them. Once a professional that you would be interested in shadowing has been located, send a nice email or phone call stating that you are interested in pursuing a career similar to theirs, and you were curious if you could set a day up to shadow them. Professionals, especially here in Knoxville, usually love to assist college students in any way. For more information on shadowing, check out this E-How for a step by step process to shadowing!
