Networking can be very helpful to your career. The idea is to develop a network of friendly people who share information to help each other. It is best known as a strategy for opening the hidden job market, for getting a good job. Since many jobs (some would say most) are not advertised, it is essential that you develop friendly relationships with people who can tip you off to job openings -- perhaps even introduce you to the person who is doing the hiring. There is some truth in, "It's not what you know, but who you know." |
| |
Networking has other benefits. You are creating a community of people who support each other, who provide emotional support and information that will help each other. You will learn of new developments in your field: new tools, processes, leaders, training programs, products and services. You may discover the solution to a problem you face at work. And, you may have the satisfaction of providing the key piece of information that makes a real difference in the life of one of those in your network. |
| |
Networking is a planned, and ongoing effort. You set goals, develop strategies for achieving them, take action, evaluate how well your plan is working, and make changes as necessary. It is something that you do throughout your career. |
| |
To build an effective network, you need both formal and informal networks in place. Formal networks are the type you actually join, usually with dues and regular meetings. These could include a professional association, a group like the Lion's Club, or an association of school graduates. Informal networks may include friends you run into at an annual holiday party, friends you keep up with from a former job, people from your church, mosque, or synagogue, or the people you met while white-water rafting. A good network contains both types and has a healthy mix of both business and social conditions. |

This selection can be made on the basis of your SAT scores for undergraduate programmers and GMAT / GRE scores in case of the graduate and postgraduate programmers. |
| |
|
| |
Look at each institutions web site for information on programmer's selection criteria, eligibility, faculty, financial aid etc. Identify their academic programs and recognize the advantage and limitations of each. Focus on curriculum, teaching approaches, placement and financial aid. |
| |
| |
Check out the school's accreditation. In the USA and certain other areas, the main accreditation body is the AACSB where as in the UK and parts of Europe AMBA performs the same role. Most accreditation is of programs, some schools may have some programs, which are accredited, and some, which are not accredited colleges after high academic quality and excellence. It is easier to transfer from accredited institutions and to get better job opportunities. So if a school has an accredited program it's a major plus point. |

Large colleges average around 12,000 students and have a wider range of courses, strong international presence. Move possibilities of teaching assistantship and other jobs. But then you should not expect individualized attention from the faculty |

Consider the factors like the climate geographical features and relatives residing in the state where the school is located.
The extracurricular activities like sports and cultural activities that may be on offer. Also make sure to check on the library and campus job opportunities to gain work experiences and pocket money. Students and recent alumni are valuable sources of information about the culture and learning environment of a particular school. Among the important questions that you must ask one how is faculty at the college. Did the program meet your expectations? |
