Job Shadowing

What is it?

Have you ever wanted to see what it was like to see a "day in the life" of a professional for your career field of interest? That's job shadowing! It's typically a few hours or a whole workday. By shadowing a professional, you learn what to expect from an average workday or week in that profession.

Job shadowing is a great way to gather important information on your possible future career. Not only do you learn about skills required for the job, but you can see if this organization/industry is a good fit for you. You can also gain inside knowledge that will help you in future interviews.
