Networking

What's the point of networking?

Networking can help you:

  • Learn about career fields you are interested in
  • Gather information about particular organizations and companies
  • Investigate specific jobs
  • Find available internships and summer job opportunities
  • Find job leads

The purpose is to gather information from someone who works in a career or organization that interests you. Do not ask directly for a job or internship.
