Expand Your Network
Having a strong professional network is important at every stage of your career. When looking for a job or internship, your network can help with:
- Sending you information about openings that may be of interest
- Recommending you to the hiring manager or providing a referral to support your application
- Serving as professional references
- Providing insight into the hiring practices of a specific company or industry
You can (and should!) start cultivating your professional network while in college. You’ve probably already started building a network, whether you realized it or not! Check out the Networking Module to learn more about the value of a professional network and skills for building yours for the next job search.
