I attended a networking event in the hope it could help with my sociology research paper due soon. However, it was very different from my expectations of it. This did not necessarily help with the development of my paper, yet instead in helped with thinking of my future. I gained a new understanding and perspective on what networking truly is. I once believed networking should be idealized for meeting people to keep in contact for future career help. To be a business engagement with less comfort as well as the will to be very outgoing. As a scary interpretation, this ideal can be seen in everyone’s conscious without fail, until shown there is another way to view this action. Networking is much simpler than this common belief because it is all about making a friend. Begin by introducing yourself and sparking different topics to push the conversation to learn things about the other person. This is meant to be a casual conversation between the two people. As the conversation goes well and begins to see its end say “It was nice meeting you.” and get a form of contact, to stay connected.
This event was hosted by about three clubs, in which an organization came with a powerpoint to explain what is to network with other people. This represented the do’s and don’ts with a practice of networking for the rest of the events time. And the game that came to my group of two other girls also graduated Baruch college last year. We asked questions about his job, his interests and his dislikes. He also gave us pointers as freshmen in Baruch to attend more networking events and take on internships as early as possible. When looking for an internship as a senior it is much more difficult to attain, given rejections.
