OUR TWEETS
WIL Events
I just read an interesting article on Fast Company on must-have conference apps. Many of them would also be useful for other Career Events.
Fast Company > Must Have Apps to Make the Most of SXSW.
My favs from the article?
CardMuch - takes a photo of a business card, converts them into text and integrates with LinkedIn
LinkedIn - build your network immediately while at an event
Evernote - take notes on what inspired you & action points for your career
Evernote Hello - to keep notes on your interactions on who you met and what you discussed
What apps do you use or would like to try?
If you try any of the above, share your experience with them.

Nice post!
On our @SFU_OLC feed, @BuckyHermit offered some more great tips:
"It's a new experience. Lots of culture shock. But lots of good people. Certainly a country that's changing rapidly. AND GOOD FOOD!"
He also raves about the efficientness of the Seoul subway system and reccomends a visit to Gwanghwamun Plaza and Cheonggyecheon.
Do any other travelers have more tips?
Storify is fun!
Thanks Elizabeth! I hope you enjoyed reading about the volunteer experiences and benefits of volunteering I shared. Do you volunteer as well? What other benefits do you think students can gain from volunteering?

Great Read, thanks Grace!
