Typical Job Shadow Day
Since this year's program will be virtual, we ask that students connect with alumni via Zoom or other video chat platform for a 30-45-minute meeting. You can touch upon such topics as:
- Their career path since graduating from Fairfield
- Ask about the organization and their role
- Discuss potential career paths within the organization and the industry
- Share information about your major, plans, and offer to share your resume
- Ask them about suggestions for getting started on a career path in that industry or organization
A typical in-person Job Shadow day may include:
- Observation of the employees’ activities during their workday
- Informational interviews with the Fairfield alumna/nus host and other employees
- Meetings with the president, department heads, or other individuals
- Lunch with Fairfield alumni
- A tour of the workplace
- An opportunity for a resume review
