✅ Register and/or attend one networking event within the next month
✅ Reach out for one informational interview
✅ Be sure to follow-up with the connections you make at both!
✍️ “Reach out to your network” may be frustrating to hear (especially if you don’t know how to do so), but it is the best way to get past gatekeepers and applicant tracking systems — and hear about opportunities you won’t find on job boards
✍️ Make sure you show up with a plan, listen more than you speak (people love to talk!), stay positive, share something personal (don’t just talk about the ☔️), and follow up with the folks you meet
✍️ 1 in 12 informational interviews leads to a job: do your research, make a compelling ask (for no more than 10-15 minutes of time), set an agenda, take notes, and follow-up
✍️ Think outside of the box when it comes to finding networking opportunities
✍️ The full presentation deck is here
