As a business student, you have undoubtedly written a research paper that required the citation of credible sources. Imagine taking a similar approach when absorbing career information. For example, what your parents told you about networking might differ from what a recruiter would share with you during an event. Sorting through the noise to find a credible market expert can have its challenges, but we know that this work will strengthen your presence in the market.
Information comes in many different packages. Recruiters, campus faculty, social media, and alumni are all sources of information. It’s easy to overlook that information that is passed along can be outdated, misleading, or carry bias. Also consider that job markets, industries, and roles all vary and there is no one size fits all approach. Evaluation frameworks like the CCOW method aid in establishing credibility of the source.
