Hi all!
For those who were in the UCI Career Center yesterday, you may have seen Michelle and I in our matching tiaras. This week officially marks our 6-month anniversary on campus, a mini-milestone of which we are slightly proud. It’s also given me a few reasons to reflect and come up with….drumroll, please…a list of numbers! Here is what the first 6 months as a brand-new Employer & Community Outreach Specialist can look like:
- 1340 sent emails
- a bunch more received…many have been re-sorted and/or deleted so a grand total is not available. We’ll just go with “a bunch”
- 23 networking events
- 41 employer meetings
- 9 days of conferences/travel/off-sites
- 279 Tweets
- 24 blog posts
- Plus, many hours dedicated to training, research (on both the employment community and UC Irvine), meetings, and getting up to speed on best practices
I’m not what numbers in other jobs look like, but I see this list and feel okay – I think they represent a good start, but more room to grow (side note: these numbers should be fairly exact, but I reserve the right to claim a margin for human error).
