Discussion Groups

So I got some good news this morning..two of the discussion groups I asked to be invited to accepted me. Now there are two reasons I am excited about this. First, obviously...the networking possibilites..it feels good to be actually talking to people in the field, sharing ideas and discussing rather than sending a resume and taking my chances. I feel that I can actually start making some real connections which I am planning to lead to a job offer! The other reason is because I enjoy getting involved in these kind of discussions and it is very informative to know what the relevant and hot topics are in student affairs especially being out of the field for a while. Im feeling good about where the job search is going! So..im going to try to post tomorrow and make this a regular thing!

Starting My Blog

Hello everyone! I just started my blog which I am calling Jumping Back In the Fishbowl. I am calling it that completely out of affection for the field I am attempting to get back in. I have found myself missing the student affairs environment and have spent some time trying to get my foot back in the door! I also wanted to come up with a creative name for my blog and this I thought was a good name! I am going to try to stay up on my blog and post at least once a week and explain where I am at with the attempted return to the student affairs field. I have realized that social media seems to be a really great way to get one's name out there and I kind of wish I had thought of it before..but better late than never! I will try to post more as I can!
