Why is networking so important and what advice/tips would you give students to make meaningful connections with employers?
Networking plays a crucial role in accessing meaningful career opportunities. Through networking, you can land your next job, collaborate directly with industry professionals to develop strategies for your career success, gain invaluable practice advocating for yourself and your abilities in the field, and more. Remember, each networking attempt has the potential to fruitfully impact your future – today, tomorrow, and beyond – so make sure to consistently put yourself out there.
