Assumptions of Networking large social gatherings professional colleagues random conversations high expectations common interests joint projects, collaborations why do this? new inspirations source of next professional endeavor get to know people in your area; horizontally or vertically

Big Questions How do we talk to one another? how do you start what do you say What do you share? How do you respond? How do you avoid … the silence? How about asking yourself, “what do I want to know about that person” instead?

Benefits of a Professional Network Taking care of the relationships you have created!! Invites to talks, Job interviews, Program Committees Letters of recommendation Internships, Papers accepted, Citations Source for new ideas, collaborations and feedback

Networking is a skill Networking Prepare for an event Elevator Speech Offer to Help Talk to those around you Set Goals Practice those muscles!!!

Outdated Assumptions “If you do good research or work, fame, funding, promotions, and graduate students follow” Today’s functional idea: Networking is about relationships and nurturing them. Benefits will follow.

Networking is a Relationship Write down next Steps Keep in Touch! Exchange giving talks Follow through Follow up Keep in touch Meet them again

Deliberately Target Your Networking Established Researchers Business Leaders Alumni Technical Advisors Contemporaries People with Possible Job Opportunities Get to know who they are before you come to the event!!

Practice this new Networking Skill
