Attending A Handshake Event
CAREER PLANNING
(November 29, 2022)
Many events listed on Handshake are not organized by the Office of Career Planning and Professional Development. These events are coordinated by Handshake and employers. While these events are not specifically designed for students and alumni of the CUNY Graduate Center, you can still learn a lot by attending them. Don’t be surprised if the event takes place on a video platform that you haven’t downloaded. The choice of the communication platform is decided by the employers.

I attended an event hosted by Material. Material is a global strategy, insights, design, and technology partner to companies striving for true customer centricity and ongoing relevance in a digital first, customer-led world. By registering for the event, I established a connection with an employee at Material. The Talent Acquisition Specialist reached out to me directly which provided me with the chance to start a conversation with him. Not only did this create an opportunity to learn more about the Material, but it also expanded my network of contacts at the company if I ended up being interested in applying for a job there. I thanked him for reaching out and confirmed that I would be attending the Portfolio Development Seminar.
