CRA-W Career Mentoring Workshop

What is networking? Making professional connections and using them wisely

Established researchers in your field Funding program directors People who could hire you People who can give you good technical advice Your contemporaries With whom should you network?

Know whom you want to meet and what you want to talk to them about Know beforehand who you want to talk to Write their names down Know what you want to talk to them about Read their papers and check out their webpages Know what the people you want to meet look like Look on their webpages or in technical journals Ask others to point them out You should know what all the people in your field look like Prepare a brief description of your work What your work is about Why it is important, why your solution separates you from the rest of the pack Need 3-sentence, 5-minute and 15 minute versions Practice What to do at conferences

Ask a question during a talk No matter if you think it is stupid! Introduce yourself to the speaker after the talk I liked your talk I have a question Explain a different slant you may have Describe a related work Engage in hall talk Everyone is in the hall talking about their work Follow your personal style Be sociable and friendly to the people you meet Talk to them in a way that is natural and comfortable for you Use your contacts to get new contacts Get friends, your advisor, colleagues to introduce you Do the same for others What to do at conferences

Make lunch and dinner plans Pick a table where people are talking socially – not deep in a technical conversation Ask if someone standing alone has dinner/lunch plans Talk to people you meet by chance Talk to someone who happens to sit next to/in front of/behind you Make a comment on the last talk Ask about something you didnt understand Talk about what you liked or didnt like about the talk Talk to people who happen to come up to you Dont always be on the lookout to not see others who want to talk to you Talk to people about their lives as well as their work Be interested if someone mentions family or travel or hobbies Dont pry What to do at conferences

Offer to help out when you can Bring people together who could help each other Suggest papers or colleagues they should know Volunteer Introduce yourself to an editor of a journal in your field Offer to help with an upcoming conference Be responsible! Dont hang around with your friends You already know them – meet other people Dont just stand there – speak! Ask someone about their research Have a specific question ready if you know their research I just read your paper and I was wondering if you could tell me more about… Have you done anything further on it? Who else is working on this topic? What to do at conferences

Write it down After youve talked to someone Dont assume youll remember what you talked about or what you are supposed to do Note their name on the conference attendee list and what you talked about Give people your business card and write on the back what they told you they were going to do Write down technical ideas from a talk If someone asks you a question you cant answer, write it down and them later with That was an interesting question; its made me think. Heres a possible answer. or Heres a step in the right direction. Do you want to work on it together? Send someone a paper or idea you saw that was related to a talk they gave Do joint work together Particularly good with people on your own level Invite them to give a talk at your university They might return the opportunity What to do at conferences

Talk to people at your own organization Outside your area Administrators Send preprints Connect to people working on a related problem Meet with visitors to your department Meet with program directors Ask for help when you can use it Be clear about what the person can do for you When not at a conference

If people ignore you – move on Their bad social skills Be professional Avoid mistaken intentions When it doesnt go as planned Welcome to the Old Girls Network!
