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
