Pre-Business Webinar How do you find your first job? How does that job relate to where you are going in your career? November 14th, 2012 Presenter: David Radden, D.B. Radden & Company Moderator: Kyra Young, SCS Program Coordinator
How to Participate in the Webinar 1) Chat & Questions. If you do NOT have access to a mic and do not call in with a phone, you can use the Questions feature to type a question that you want to ask to the presenters. At the end of the presentation, the facilitator will read out loud any questions that come through this feature. 2) Raise Hand. For most of the webinar, all participants will be in listen-only mode, meaning they will be muted. When the presenter opens the floor for questions, people will not be unmuted unless they use the Raise Hand function.
