Research Phase
2. Meet with your community consultant
Make sure your advisor is involved in the process of scheduling a meeting with your community consultant. If your community consultant is coming to PKS, we want to be able to let others know. If you will be meeting with your advisor off-site, you need to fill out a Site Visitation Form, secure transportation, and get the required signatures for approval.
Tips for your meeting
Tips for your meeting
- Make a positive first impression. Be on time for your meeting and dressed appropriately. Offer a firm handshake, make eye contact, and smile.
- Be prepared. You have done a great deal of research up to this point, but you should still have unanswered questions. Make a list of questions you want to ask your community consultant, and take notes as he/she answers them.
- Show your gratitude. Remember that your community consultant is volunteering his/her time for YOU. Be appreciative and say "Thank you" often.
