Im just a student. Surely I dont need to attend the business meeting of TWS or AFS?
Theres no better way to send the signal that youre serious about your chosen profession than to get involved as a student in your local and/or regional TWS or AFS chapter. Students, actually free help from anyone, is greatly appreciated by professional societies, and its a FABULOUS way to meet the professionals with whom you would like to work or learn from. It also gets you on professionals radar screen because you have a role in the local or regional chapter.
