patricia, Networking is a good idea but can be confusing and daunting for many students; I like your idea of going with them and wonder if you also create any networking events at your school and/or have professionals from the field come and speak to your students. Elizabeth Kemler

Overcoming Obstacles at Work

Marion, I hear this over and over; often students get discouraged too quickly which makes them an easy target for workplace gossip and negativity, other times they simply want to fit in. Either way, your advice to maintain and demonstrate self respect and dignity at all times is right on target. Elizabeth Kemler
