5:09 pm lvanlysal: Re: Q1 I think forming relationships with colleagues in diff funct areas is just as important as new skills if you want 2transition #sachat
5:09 pm KARupert: I am trying to volunteer in other departments and on committees that span different functional areas so I am more well rounded #sachat
5:09 pm EvanHeiser: I think a challenge is having the support of your supervisors to do things outside of but still related to your current function #sachat !fb
5:09 pm kbaumann: Q1. How about job shadowing? It's a great way to learn about the position, gaining that experience to get you ahead (for FREE). :) #sachat

5:09 pm dfalletta: RT @jmayojr: Even at a small school where I have many 'hats' @KARupert's point is very valid #sachat
5:10 pm jpkirch: It's imperative to ask. Lots of people don't think to ask to sit in on meetings, volunteer, or approach projects of interest. #sachat
5:10 pm The_SA_Blog: @KARupert That's a great way to achieve that! Are other departments receptive to your collaboration? #sachat
5:10 pm cindykane: Campus culture sometimes limits entry level staff from "getting out there" on projects outside the department #sachat
5:10 pm jmayojr: @The_SA_Blog it's hard to break the silos, sometimes even if you offer to volunteer you get turned away #sachat
5:10 pm The_SA_Blog: RT @lelambeth: Q1: It's hard to ask questions about other areas of SA without arousing suspicion of "leaving" your area. #sachat

5:10 pm NASPAtweets: RT @tbump: #sachat be sure to recognize & build the transferable skills that you are getting in your current position
5:10 pm JanaMLewis: Agree with @lelambeth about suspicion of "leaving" your area #sachat
5:10 pm FirstGenU: @lvanlysal I agree with you. My primary responsibility is admissions, but my sa friends invite me to participate in their events #sachat
5:10 pm jpkirch: Example - ask to sit in on the budget meetings and talk about wanting to learn. I've had success there. #sachat
5:10 pm The_SA_Blog: RT @jpkirch: It's imperative to ask. Lots of people don't think to sit in on meetings, volunteer, or approach projects of interest #sachat
5:10 pm djdw: totally! RT @lelambeth: Q1: It's hard to ask questions about other areas of SA without arousing suspicion of "leaving" your area. #sachat
5:10 pm kbaumann: Q1. Offer to buy lunch, and conduct an information interview with someone in the function you're interested in. #sachat
5:10 pm ancientdance: Q1: sometimes it's just hard to know HOW to get involved in other areas, esp if you're new. #sachat
5:10 pm RunLeanGreen: Hi - Heather from Stonehill College #sachat
5:10 pm edcabellon: @lelambeth You can't control what others interpret, you have to do what is in your best interest to grow professionally :-) #sachat
5:11 pm Joangib: I encourage staff to think about areas they want to dabble in, then work w/w other ppl to set up "internships" of 5/week. Win win #sachat
5:11 pm maddyfacepants: RT @lvanlysal: Re: Q1 I think forming relationships with colleagues in diff funct areas is just as important as new skills if you want 2transition #sachat
5:11 pm The_SA_Blog: @jpkirch Great idea! The worst people can tell you is no. Seems like most would be excited by the interest. #sachat
5:11 pm AndreaHart: @The_Sa_blog - I know at larger institutions, silos make collaborative work (and learning) more difficult. #sachat
5:11 pm The_SA_Blog: RT @kbaumann: Q1. Offer to buy lunch, and conduct an information interview with someone in the function you're interested in. #sachat
5:11 pm KARupert: @The_SA_Blog I make sure to be helpful and not a hindrance. It's important to let them know why you want to help and volunteer. #sachat
5:11 pm jmayojr: @RunLeanGreen Hi Heather, welcome #sachat
5:11 pm jpkirch: RT @kbaumann: Q1. Offer 2 buy lunch, and conduct an information interview with someone in the function you're interested in. #sachat
5:11 pm The_SA_Blog: @ancientdance Or better, let them buy YOU lunch while they talk. :) #sachat
5:11 pm studentlifeguru: Try to develop partnerships with other depts or areas for related issues . Exposure to other areas can be helpful #sachat
5:11 pm KatieAPM: One challenge for me, is getting the okay to gain experience in other areas when it may be really busy in my own #sachat
5:11 pm The_SA_Blog: RT @KARupert: I make sure to be helpful and not a hindrance. It's important to let them know why you want to help and volunteer. #sachat
5:11 pm Kathy_Petras: One thing I suggested for my graduate intern is informational interviews. Get to know the people first before the job they do. #sachat
5:11 pm jpkirch: Also - attend open meetings on campus - board meetings, budget meetings, faculty or staff senate meetings. The info is invaluable! #sachat
5:12 pm dfalletta: RT @ancientdance: Q1: sometimes it's just hard to know HOW to get involved in other areas, esp if you're new. #sachat
5:12 pm kriscarr442: RT @KatieAPM: One challenge for me, is getting the okay to gain experience in other areas when it may be really busy in my own #sachat
5:12 pm The_SA_Blog: RT @KatieAPM: One challenge for me, is getting the okay to gain experience in other areas when it may be really busy in my own #sachat
5:12 pm m1hamilton: jumping on campus committees help to open those door for relationship building #sachat
5:12 pm JanaMLewis: After volunteering to help in other areas, they start to depend on my free services...then it's tough to explore other new things. #sachat
5:12 pm KARupert: I work at a Very large school and I find that if you just e-mail people you may want to volunteer with they are very receptive #sachat
5:12 pm Joangib: @The_SA_Blog Volunteering is huge. Tie it into your current functional area- i.e. plan a welcome to the res halls for intl students. #sachat
5:12 pm jpkirch: and with that information - you make connections that could lead to other projects. #sachat
5:12 pm lelambeth: Q1: agree with the time issue - it's necessary to make appointments/space in calendars for prof development/look for correlating exp #sachat
5:12 pm ediemccracken: @Joangib Love that idea! It's sad that we see "internships" as ending when we graduate #sachat
5:12 pm JPedde: I would imagine being as involved on campus professionally as you were when you were a student helps bridge gaps. #sachat
5:12 pm The_SA_Blog: RT @m1hamilton: jumping on campus committees help to open those door for relationship building #sachat
5:12 pm edcabellon: Q1: Be a good relationship builder on your campus. This often leads to many other professional dvt. opportunities in other areas. #sachat
5:12 pm studentlifeguru: Example: I volunteered for an NCAA golf tournament athletics was hosting. I made connections and gained exp wouldn't get in housing #sachat
5:12 pm OrchardKeeper: Q1: TIme would be a major factor as well as would be the presence of territorial dirs ... Easier to obtain via job at smaller campus #sachat
5:12 pm dfalletta: Another challenge is just the nervousness of taking that "leap." Is the grass really greener over there? #sachat
5:13 pm kriscarr442: I have the problem of different functional areas are protectionist and untrusting of others motives #sachat
5:13 pm megs0124: Hi #SAChat.! Hope I am not too late... lurking today as I work. First time! I'm Megan from Western Carolina University (Office of Admission)
5:13 pm The_SA_Blog: RT @JPedde: I would imagine being as involved on campus professionally as you were when you were a student helps bridge gaps. #sachat
5:13 pm cindykane: From a hiring perspective though... "volunteer" roles show understanding of area but struggle in substance #sachat
5:13 pm djdw: what about transitioning from grad SA to undergrad SA? it's a whole other ball of wax, so it's hard to get the relvant exp. #sachat
5:13 pm KBHgal: RT @m1hamilton: jumping on campus committees help to open those door for relationship building #sachat
5:13 pm KARupert: You can also join committee within your own department and meet a lot of new people that way, remember it never hurts to ask #sachat
5:13 pm tbump: #sachat "it's not who you know it's who knows you" bring value to every encounter-get folks inviting & advocating 4 you behind your back
5:13 pm ediemccracken: Same here! RT @JanaMLewis: After volunteering to help in other areas, they start to depend on my free services... #sachat
5:13 pm kriscarr442: Agreed! RT @dfalletta: Another challenge is just the nervousness of taking that "leap." Is the grass really greener over there? #sachat
5:13 pm kbaumann: Q1. If you're branching out on the job, be sure to get mgr's approval first. If they know you're looking, they may help connect you! #sachat
