HOW TO START
1. Identify Your Networking Goals: Before networking, it is important to assess why you’re networking and what type of connections and resources you are looking for. Set a Goal to find 100 names. Maybe only 5 or even 1 will work.
2. Research Your Network: Take the time to research your network so that you can identify people who might be helpful in achieving your goals. Use technology tools such as LinkedIn or other social media platforms to find appropriate contacts. Talk to teachers, principal, coaches, science fair judges, parents, and neighbors.
