Learning to network at the start of your career
When many people think of networking, they think of small talk, stalled conversations, and sales pitches. Instead, reframe networking and think of it as making genuine professional connections that will help you in your career, and vice versa. You might meet a future boss, client, mentor, or friend. Right now, you are probably preoccupied with tests, papers, assignments, and extracurricular activities but it is a great time to start growing your network.
