Updated: Sep 23, 2021



Last month we discussed resume maintenance, and now we are moving on to networking. Below you will also find the Career Resources toolbox and upcoming opportunities.


Networking:


What:

Interacting with others who have similar interests or career goals to develop professional contacts.


Why:

  • You create a community of long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships

  • Access to new opportunities

  • Able to exchange ideas

  • Mentorships

How:

  • Connect with your professors and peers

  • Tap into your school's alumni network

  • Tap into your school's career resource office

  • Professional conferences (a conference opportunity is listed below)

  • Professional social media such as LinkedIn

Where to start:


Do not forget your classmates, peers, friends, and family are great starting points when building your network!


Note: It may seem scary reaching out to people and making these connections, but you are more than capable.
