Are You Ready for Job Shadow Day?

While I hope Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see his shadow tomorrow (did you know the forecasting groundhog is hip to texting, Facebook and Twitter?), I hope many workplaces see plenty of them -- job shadows, that is!

 

Yes, February 2nd is Job Shadow Day, which was created to give students across the country a firsthand look at different jobs. I've been shadowed before and have found it to be quite rewarding. What you need to remember is that you are not just doing your job for the student to watch, but you are engaging the student and helping him get excited about the world of work.

 

Here are four tips to help you host on Job Shadow Day, and if you are a student doing the shadowing, get some tips for making the most of the job shadow experience.
