I learned that job developers need to think like recruiters. We need to know as much as possible about our students. Knowing their strengths, weaknesses, and personalities will help determine appropriate job order matches. One must not only know the candidates, but know the market. Know basic background and marketing info, so you can respond correctly if employers ask. And of course remind yourself that job developing is a way to connect with people and strengthen your skills. Be a problem solver not a sales person.
