Networking Tips
It estimated that are filled by networking, and you have successfully started your networking journey! This is something to be proud of!
Remember: Networking is essentially building relationships and getting to know people, their interests, and their careers. It is not asking for a job.

Conversation Topics:
After meeting someone at a networking event, we encourage you to connect with them via email or follow-up via LinkedIn to express your gratitude for meeting and talking with them. It can be as simple as “It was great meeting you at the XYZ Event. I enjoyed our conversation about ZYX. I look forward to staying in contact!”
