How to Network When You Don't Have a Network (Beyond the Professoriate Live Webinar) is a virtual event hosted by the Graduate School as part of the Fall 2024 Advanced Degree Career and Professional Development series. This webinar will be hosted on Handshake.
Fact: studies show that up to 85% of jobs are filled through networking and referrals. But what happens if you don’t have a network, or the only people you know are academics? This interactive workshop will show you how to start building a network of professionals working in career fields that interest you. You’ll learn how to network authentically and avoid the “yuck” that can come when networking is done wrong.
This virtual workshop is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:
- How do I network in a way that feels genuine (rather than awkward or self-serving)
- Where do I begin networking?
- What tools can I use to help grow my network?
- How do I approach professionals working in fields of interest when I don’t know them?
Webinar will be hosted on Handshake. Advanced registration is required.
