NETWORKING CHECKLIST

Act natural!

Try to relax and remember that you have time to chat, the introduction describing who you are can come later :)

Introduce Yourself

When you introduce yourself, can you summarize yourself in just a couple of sentences?

Learn About them

Make sure to learn about you who you are talking to! Networking is a conversation, make sure to give them time to speak too.

LinkedIn is your friend!

If you’re short on time, connect via LinkedIn. You can always continue your conversation later!

If you don’t feel comfortable directly messaging someone, remember to spend some time connecting to people in HR or in your field, and just liking or commenting on their posts. That little friendliness will go a long way when you might need some help!
