Career & Tools
Networking is a key component for starting your career, whether in academia or beyond academia. Building a network takes time and commitment but can provide long lasting benefits. Join Lana Smith-Hale for a workshop demystifying the world of networking.
Building professional relationships is crucial to career success, and graduate students are no different. Some estimates posit that over 80% of jobs are secured either directly or indirectly through personal networks. This interactive workshop will cover how to create a strong base of professional connections, as well as how to identify and successfully navigate in-person and online networking opportunities. We will focus specifically on demystifying the informational interview and why they are important for building a professional network.
