My professor is recommending his students that they should begin networking, and he has started an assignment where we need to collect business networks.
I don't know anybody but I know I probably need to learn how to do this as I am a senior and know for sure that I am going to be doing marketing when I leave school (preferably sports)
I currently have 1 network: The professor.
How do I go about doing gaining more?
One of the most important social media tools you can sign up for right now is LinkedIn. In today’s market, it’s a tool you cannot afford to ignore.
LinkedIn lets you post your work experience in a familiar resume format, connect with and manage your professional contacts and promote your skill sets in real time.
LinkedIn isn’t just for looking for the next job, it’s also about branding yourself with potential future employers and your professional peers within your industry. Interactive features allow your contacts to also post recommendations that can be seen be anyone who views your profile.
I’ve been on LinkedIn for a couple of years now and use the site as a new rolodex, or a way to manage my professional contacts. It’s also helped me find out more about people I do business with, but there is so much more I could be doing.
Join as many groups as you can, offcourse keeping in mind your area of developement. Search Groups of Marketing, Advertising, Networking and so on. Good Luck!
