Classes were cancelled for Veteran’s Day and the rest of the week due to some large conferences and business tours in other states. I am one of the few people that elected not to go anywhere, and therefore, had three days off of school, and a five day weekend.

Not knowing what to do with myself for that amount of free time, I set up some informational interviews with contacts around Seattle. It was my own networking tour of sorts… Wednesday and Thursday a classmate and I visited some larger companies, and on Friday I met with a start-up marketing firm.

It definitely felt good to focus on my career and internship search, both of which have taken a back seat to my coursework.

p.s. We got our official UW business cards on Wednesday afternoon just in time to start networking away! Exciting.
