If you’ve ever had to pick people for your group or team, chances are you asked your friends to recommend people they know. In much the same way, many of the positions available are filled through personal referrals. Networking is making connections—talking with people who can provide you with information, advice, resources, and possible contacts related to your fields of interest. Develop your connections to learn about opportunities beyond campus interviews or what is posted on Crimson Careers.
