By now you’ve likely noticed how fast your BYU-I student email inbox can fill up. If only your bank account was the same way, right? In comparing the vast amount of emails you receive each day to a flood, it can be easy to miss the small gold nuggets that are swept up in this raging river of electronic messages. These metaphorical gold nuggets are the emails you receive each week from the BYU-Idaho Academic Discovery Center – College of Business & Communication (CBC). These emails contain the CBC’s online newsletter and can be worth more than their weight in gold if you know how to use them.
Upcoming Events
The CBC’s email newsletter is divided into four different parts. “Upcoming Events” is the first section you will see when you open the newsletter. A list of future events along with the time, location, and a brief description are given for each event. Some examples of on-campus events included within the newsletter include networking meetings, special conferences, and companies coming to recruit at BYU-I.
Society Events
This section will tell you about the different events put on by those societies within the business and communication majors. Similar to the previous section, times and locations are included for each event.
Career Workshops
As part of the career workshop series, the BYU-Idaho Academic Discovery Center regularly teaches career workshops on various topics such as how to network or how to craft an effective résumé. These workshops are free and are only an hour long.
Jobs & Internships
This is the last and most valuable section of the CBC’s weekly newsletter. Within this section, you will see multiple job and internship opportunities listed in a table format. This format helps you easily see important information for each position such as the job title, employer, position type, location, and which majors the employer is looking for. In the far left side of the table is a ID number column. These numbers are the Career Navigator ID for each position. It is through Career Navigator that you can use the listed ID numbers to apply for any positions that interest you.
You now know how to make the most of the CBC’s weekly newsletter and find value in the flood of emails that constantly bombards your student email account. Get out there and start taking advantage of the golden opportunities that await you!
