Career Center Workshop
Networking: Optimizing Your Time at
BPS 2015
You surely have heard that
networking
is a key component of the successful
job search. The term itself often conjures up negative thoughts and reac-
tions to the uninitiated, sometimes to the point of paralysis. Professional
conferences (such as BPS 2015) provide endless networking opportunities.
If, however, your perception of networking means tackling someone at the
coffee station while thrusting your CV in his/her hands, you may want to
stop in on this session. The practice of networking has become so much
easier with the advent of the internet. We will discuss what hope to get
out of your presence at the meeting, how to set objectives beforehand, and
how to meet those objective once you arrive (while minimizing anxiety).

Undergraduate Mixer and Poster Fest
A social and scientific mixer for all undergraduate students attending the
meeting. Come meet other undergraduates and learn about their research
projects. Undergraduates listed as co-authors on posters are welcome to
practice their poster presentation in a less formal setting, even if not listed
as the presenting author. For undergrads who will be presenting during the
standard scientific sessions, the mixer provides an additional opportunity
to hone presentation skills. Limited presentation spots may be available
for those who did not pre-register. Check with the Society Office in the
VIP Lounge in the Charles Street Lobby. Organized by the Education
Committee.
