Let’s explore how we can best identify networking opportunities and how to make
the most of our connections.
Tip 1: Contact Your Personal Network

Get to know yourself and your professional goals. While it is good for you to know these, it is even better for someone in your network
to know your goals!
Tip 3: Make the Most of First Impressions
Tip 4: Follow Up
After meeting with contacts, follow up with a thank you e-mail or note. Tell them you
appreciate their wisdom.
