Connect with MACIC through Social Media

News & Announcements Comments Off

Beyond the MACIC website, you now have a couple of new ways to connect with the organization online.

First, connect with MACIC on LinkedIn. Up until this time, our LinkedIn group was for organization members only. Since this limits the power of our LinkedIn presence, it was determined at the February 11th Business Meeting to switch it to an open group. Now, members, non-members, and employers alike can share news and discuss internship issues through this forum. Join today!

MACIC has also joined the Twitterverse! With so many organizations active on Twitter, this opens a new avenue for MACIC to connect with local employers and with internship resources that would be useful to the students members work with. You can find and follow MACIC at twitter.com/MACIC_WI.

Finally, don’t forget that you can subscribe to the MACIC website’s news feed via email or feed reader (ex. Google Reader). Both subscription links can be found on MACIC.org along the right-hand column of the site.

Speed Networking: The Career Matchmakers

News & Announcements Comments Off

Wednesday, August 11, 2010
7:30-8:30am
Milwaukee Center for Independence
2020 West Wells St.
Lower Level Conference Center
(located near Marquette University on Wells Street – Free parking available in the lot behind the building or on the street)

Guest Speaker:
Paul Kilp, Vice President of Elite Human Capital Group

Speed networking is a type of business networking activity and, very much like speed dating, it is about making initial contact with as many people as possible in a short amount of time.

The attendees of the event will have a series of mini-meetings with new contacts. The idea is that within a few minutes of talking to someone new, it is possible to work out if you want to meet again, whether there is the possibility of a future business relationship, or simply to understand more about what your new contact does.

  • With Speed Networking, you can make more new business contacts in an hour that you would make in three months!
  • Network with other professionals, one-on-one, a few minutes at a time.
  • Leave with a pocketful of business cards and a ton of new business connections!
  • $5 per person includes continental breakfast

Sign up today! Space is limited, so don’t miss out!

Agenda

7:15-7:30am – Registration & Breakfast
7:30-7:45am – Keynote
7:45-8:30am – Speed Networking (5 minute intervals)

RSVP by August 3, 2010
