  <Title>Turning Contacts into Opportunities</Title>
  <Tagline>How to move from a conversation to a career connection</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>You went to the <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/files/14097" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">career fair</a>. You collected
    business cards. You had a few great conversations. Now what?</p>
    
    <p>Making contacts is only the first step — what
    really matters is what you do <em>after</em> the introduction. Turning contacts
    into opportunities requires intention, follow-up, and a willingness to continue
    the conversation beyond the initial meeting.</p>
    
    <p>Here's how to transform a quick interaction
    into something meaningful.</p>
    
    <p><strong>1.
    Follow Up Within 48 Hours</strong></p>
    
    <p>After meeting a recruiter or professional,
    send a short thank-you email or LinkedIn message. Mention:</p>
    
    <ul>
     <li>Where
         you met (e.g., the UMBC Career Fair)</li>
     <li>Something
         specific you discussed</li>
     <li>The
         role or opportunity that interests you</li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>This small step helps them remember you — and
    signals professionalism.</p>
    
    <p><strong>2.
    Connect the Conversation to Action</strong></p>
    
    <p>If you discussed a specific position, apply
    soon after following up. In your application or message, reference your
    conversation. For example:</p>
    
    <p>"I enjoyed speaking with you at the UMBC
    Career Fair about the XYZ position and have submitted my application."</p>
    
    <p>This reinforces your interest and keeps your
    name top of mind.</p>
    
    <p><strong>3.
    Show Continued Interest</strong></p>
    
    <p>Opportunities don't always happen instantly.
    Stay engaged by attending <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">events</a> like employer
    info sessions, recruitment events, and workshops. Seeing you show up more than
    once demonstrates genuine interest and persistence.</p>
    
    <p><strong>4.
    Ask Smart, Specific Questions</strong></p>
    
    <p>If you attend a recruitment session, ask
    questions that show you've done your research. Instead of asking, "What do you
    do?" try:</p>
    
    <ul>
     <li>"What
         skills make someone successful in this role?"</li>
     <li>"What
         does the first year typically look like?"</li>
     <li>"What
         advice would you give someone preparing to apply?"</li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>Thoughtful questions deepen the connection and
    leave a stronger impression.</p>
    
    <p><strong>5.
    Keep Building Momentum</strong></p>
    
    <p>Not every contact will lead to an immediate
    offer — but every interaction builds your network and strengthens your
    confidence. Networking is a long game. The more consistently you engage, the
    more opportunities will surface over time. Having an interconnected network across industries can become one of your greatest career assets. </p>
    
    <p><strong>Take
    the Next Step</strong></p>
    
    <p>Ready to turn your connections into real
    opportunities? Join the <strong><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events/149018" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">IBM Z and Social
    Security Administration Recruitment Session</a></strong> to meet recruiters, learn
    about open roles, and continue building relationships that can move your career
    forward.</p>
    
    <p>A single conversation can change your
    trajectory — but make sure you follow through.</p>

I write for the UMBC magazine which may feature anything from an alumni interview I conducted, to highlighting a new initiative at UMBC, such as the Arts+ Initiative. I also assist in photography, make flyers to feature weekly campus events and athletics, interview different school clubs for social media highlights, and so much more! </p><br><p><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></p><p>I heard about this internship position from my scholarship director (Linehan Artist Scholars) in the summer of 2025. They provided me with the link to the application on Handshake, and from there I submitted my materials. The materials included a photo and caption, a writing sample, and my resume. After that was submitted, I was fortunate to be invited to a video interview. For the call, I needed to come prepared with three questions I would ask a UMBC students for a hypothetical story. Shortly after the interview, I was told that I had gotten the position for Fall 2025 through Spring of 2026!</p><br><p><strong>What resources did you use to find your current experience?</strong></p><p>Faculty Connections, Handshake</p><br><p><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?</strong></p><p>What I have enjoyed the most in this internship position has been getting to take pictures and feature the really awesome events UMBC holds for its community. So far, getting to create a feature about the UMBC Homecoming and Family Weekend was my favorite, and an absolute blast!</p><br><p><strong>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</strong></p><p>Through my work, I am grateful to have been able to highlight some really incredible people in the UMBC community and help them get their time in the spotlight. I feel that a lot of these features are eye-opening to the community, and this platform I have been given to share helps important stories be told and heard. </p><br><p><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?</strong></p><p>For an internship such as mine, I would advise that they focus on their writing skills and learn from their mentors all that they can.</p><br><p><strong>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</strong></p><p>"Using this platform I was given to feature others' stories and help them be heard is what I have liked most about this position".</p></strong><br></div>
