Let me just say this: my mom is absolutely amazing. She has managed to find me two different internships, one which may lead to permanent employment. How does she find all of these internships? Simple; she is an amazing networker.
Networking is basically getting to know new people. It's a fancy term, but that is basically what it boils down to. In the same way that knowing a wide range of people can get you into fun parties during Grand Prix as a student, knowing a wide range of professionals can help you land an amazing job. Developing strong professional relationships can result in many new opportunities and exciting career paths.
But remember, networking is a two way street. If you want help, you must be willing to help others in return.
Tonight from 6:30-8 join LACD in the Beering lobby and network with some outstanding local business representatives. Who knows what opportunities may present themselves? It's all about talking to the right person at the right time. So don't miss out! Attend LACD's Networking Happy Hour tonight. Learn more about the companies/reps attending by visiting the LACD website http://www.cla.purdue.edu/careers/.
