How to prepare for Networking Night
Before attending a networking event, you should be prepared to make a great impression by researching the attending alumni, preparing your 30-second commercial and dressing professionally!
- Research alumni you want to connect with ahead of time!
- Review the list of attending alumni to find those you hope to connect with! Alumni are continuing to register for this event, so check the directory regularly for new additions.
- Alumni will be grouped based on career cluster at the event. Make note of which alumni you would like to speak with in each cluster.
- Prepare your 30-second commercial
- Use your 30-second commercial to introduce yourself to alumni. Find resources on how to prepare your 30-second commercial on pg. 26 of the Fleishman Center's Career Guide.
- Write out a few questions that you hope to ask alumni such as:
- What helped you get to where you are now?
- How did you get into this kind of work?
- How can I best prepare myself for this kind of work?
- What skills are essential to be successful at this job?
- Find additional ideas on pg. 28 of the Fleishman Center's Career Guide
- Ask for contact information
- If you make great connections and want to follow up with any alumni, be sure to get their contact information. You can request to connect on LinkedIn and send a note to your new connections.
