Networking as a college student isn’t like networking as a professional - it’s it’s own thing!  • Lower Pressure: The atmosphere is more relaxed. It's okay to be figuring things out and exploring career options. • Focus on Relationships: Making genuine connections is key. People are more likely to invest time in helping students they see potential in. • Use Your College's Resources: Career centers, workshops, and events specifically designed for students make it easy to connect with professionals. • Broader Network: Network with professors, classmates, alumni, and even guest speakers! College networking lays the foundation. You develop communication skills, build relationships, and explore career paths. As you enter the professional world, you leverage those skills and connections in a more targeted way to land your dream job.
