I know I'm supposed to "network," but how? When? Where? And why? Do I really have to?
Fact #1: (You've heard it...) Networking is the best way to get a job.
Fact #2: Building your network is not just about the elevator pitch, i.e. being able to interest someone in your experience and capabilities in a short amount of time.
Fact #3: What it IS ultimately about is building relationships that will support your career process for the short and long term.
Fact #4: A perfect opportunity to practice is coming up next week!
interact with GW alumni, parents and current GW students to increase your own network. In short--come eat some food and have a conversation or two with alums who are coming ready and willing and eanting to meet you! Can't get a better setup than that for practicing your networking skills.
