I am halfway through my graduate studies and I'm currently starting to put feelers out for places to settle. Part of this involves job searching, but since it will be at least a year until I finish schooling, I don't want to just spam out applications for jobs right now.
I would like to contact the offices of organizations in my field basically introducing myself and putting my name out there for possible employment once I graduate. Kinda get a sense of what their office does specifically to see how well my own skills would match up and if I would be an asset.
However, I don't really have a clue as to how to do this. Any suggestions?
Are there networking events for the industry of your interest on campus? You should look into those since cold-calling can be kind of awkward.
