Networking 101
How comfortable would you feel at a career fair introducing yourself with a firm handshake and talking about yourself to potential employers? How about telling a job representative what your personal strengths are? What about following up with a potential employer after meeting her and expressing interest in applying for the job?
These are all examples of networking skills! In every area of your life – personal, academic, or professional – networking is critical. Networking requires that you are able to communicate well with people, which includes the ability to hold a conversation, make good eye contact, give a firm handshake and know how to ask for what you want.
Mentee Core questions:
Tell your mentor about three of your strongest networking skills. Then tell your mentor the three networking skills that you need to improve. Please be specific and describe why you are strong at certain skills and what you need to improve in the others.
