Networking

At a career fair, approach recruiters with confidence. Start with a firm handshake and a brief introduction about yourself. Ask about the company’s culture and growth opportunities. Don’t forget to collect their contact information for follow-up.

Reach out to professionals on LinkedIn or through mutual connections to schedule informational interviews. During the meeting, ask questions like:

• What does a typical day look like in your role?
• How did you break into this field?
• What advice would you give to someone starting out?

When attending tech meetups, introduce yourself to others and engage in discussions about the event topic. Join group activities and exchange contact information to stay in touch after the event.
