This has been mentioned a few times here: some people might be turned off by those aggressive enough to go to another school's networking sessions.
She seems to be one of these people. However, this can work. Just keep on pushing on.
So you went to W networking event then had to tell her you're from non target but around the corner T. Idk, if I were on the other side, I'd be impressed that someone has the initiative and desire to do that. I've been considering going down to a W networking event myself since I'm from a local non target in the Philly area as well (tough loss in the shoot out tonight). I'm sure it depends on the person as to how receptive they are to it.
But I'm interested in hearing from other non targets who have done this and have had success (or just failed) and can shed some light on to doing this.
Maybe it's because I go to a target, but a lot of people at my school - myself included - would not at all take kindly to an outsider who crashed our school's career fairs/presentations. Safe to assume that some alumni (who I'm guessing this person who dinged you was) feel similarly.
Yeah. I got complimented on my drive multiple times but I guess that wasn't enough. I've done this (successfully) before -- might have just been the person I guess.
But until one of the the target bretheren come up to me, I will be sneaking in and using all of the contacts I can. The best applicant is the best applicant..
Yeah...especially at Wharton where almost everyone they bring down to those presentations are alum.
This sounds like the classic blood vs. crip/jock vs. greaser/City vs. Country/big vs. small business/avatar vs. human storyline. Maybe the target and the ol' boys give the non-target a good beating!?
In all seriousness, it's kind of strange for someone who doesn't attend the school to go to the schools events. I can see where someone who will be going or has gone to the school would attend the events, but from a totally different school is kind of weird. That being said... Use every means necessary to achieve your goal. It doesn't matter where you go or who you know, if you get the job then thats all that matters.
I can understand some of the "target" school comments here, but as a fellow non-target from Philly, keep hustling man. They were likely a Wharton alum and just weren't very receptive to the fact that you didn't go to the school. It definitely shows you have balls, and someone down the road is likely to respect that and try to at least help you out.
I don't know man, I am from a nontarget too, and I think this tactic is just weird. The networking event is expressly for the certain school, if some guy/girl contacted me from a completely random school following up from school W networking event I would just think he / she is a clown.
That said, a couple people are saying / implying that it's worked in the past so....
