Hi Shalondra - Sounds like you are doing an amazing job given that you just started. Great going! There are many solutions to getting through a gatekeeper. (And that is a common problem in any job.) One is to contact your grads and ask them to tell you who the hiring manager is and even make an introduction to you. Another is to get out into the community so you can meet people face-to-face. Another is to contact your grads for as far back as you can. If you set up an Alumni Association you'll have lots of things to offer these grads to get their attention. And so they can tell you what is happening where they work. When a grad is placed ask permission to contact the hiring person to build a relationship and find out what the grad is doing and what additional training might be needed. And on and on. It is like planting seeds. You have to know where and what to plant and the best places for good growth. You are on a great start. Thanks, Susan
