Abstract
Frequently, multicultural students are unaware of and uncomfortable with self-promotion when seeking internships or job interviews. As a process, self-promotion is not present in many cultures or incorporated into the values of most groups. Self-marketing does not have to be an onerous process if the marketing is based on who you are. This session will provide participants with tips on how to make self-promotion natural and comfortable in the on-campus recruiting process for internships and jobs (post-graduation).
