Networking for Success

-- from college to career

By Kelly Watkins

Many times in your college career, you’ll be invited to attend a meeting or event with business professionals or community representatives.  You’ll probably be wondering – Why should you attend?  How do you introduce yourself?  What should you talk about? 

Then, when it’s all over, the questions will continue.  How should you follow-up?  Should you call, send an email, write a letter, or send a text?

You may have wondered about networking in general.  Why is networking important?  Isn’t networking fake and phony? 

This enlightening (and entertaining) presentation will answer those questions and more.  Learn practical techniques you can use in any networking environment.  For example, learn about elevator speeches and how to write yours.  Hear relevant, real world examples from around the globe.  Discover how you can apply those lessons to your individual situation right now and later in your career.  Come ready to learn and have fun!
