Networking can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Networking is about understanding what connections you already have and building your network from the inside out. These connections can help support your professional growth and make you aware of opportunities within your field. Developing your professional network is a key part of the career development process and can be instrumental in helping you secure employment opportunities. Begin developing your network early so that it is already available when you need it.

Networking is about developing quality, genuine connections with people in your career field, learning more about your industry, and setting the stage to hear about potential opportunities down the road.
