SMTSU Meeting Press Release

PHILADELPHIA, PA- This semester's trio of SMTSU meetings concluded with a very productive conversation on developing yourself as a brand with one of Drexel's graduate students, Mike Goldstein.

Mike has a rather eclectic background, having worked at events like the Super Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium and for the Football Foundation of South Africa. His career search has led him in seemingly every which direction, so he had plenty to share about topics like developing meaningful relationships and using social media to your advantage rather than your detriment.

Students at the meeting surely took some valuable points away from the talk, particularly about how to use networking to your advantage.  Mike had several good stories about how simply maintaining a relationship with a phone call or a lunch can pay enormous dividends in the end.

For the students who are just beginning to search for co-op jobs, Mike and his advice will provide a valuable resource.
