New Thing 266, New Thing Every Day: Participate in a Speed Dating Event

No, not THAT kind of speed dating event!

Columbia College asked me to take part in a "speed dating event" for student job hunters. I sat at a table and every seven minutes two or three students would sit down and barrage me with questions about resumes, job interviews and the world of work. The point was to give them information and get them used to talking to professionals in a job-interview-type context. Over the course of two hours, I talked to maybe 30 students, in increments of seven minutes. It was very cool and I feel like I was a little bit helpful.
