December 11th - Networking but not landing interviews? (2 - 2:30pm ET) 

Are you networking on LinkedIn but feel like it’s not going anywhere? Are your connections not responding, or sharing job opportunities? 

One of the most common mistakes we see master’s students make in their job search is engaging in passive versus active networking. 

Networking isn’t just about collecting LinkedIn connections or posting on social media; it’s about cultivating meaningful relationships and engaging with others. Active networking involves proactively reaching out, attending events, joining professional associations, and participating in targeted conversations to expand your network. 

Join us for this virtual workshop designed for master’s students from all disciplines who are wondering: 

  • What’s the difference between active and passive networking? 
  • Why engaging in strategic, active networking is key to advancing your career. 
  • Strategies for overcoming common barriers to active networking, including fear of rejection or time constraints. 
  • How to leverage technology and social media platforms as catalysts for active networking, rather than passive observation.
