Spring 2021: Session 165 (Why Does Networking Matter with Tequesta DeSouza)
from The First-Gen Lounge
In college, we all have one primary goal--get that degree. Yet, the importance of forming meaningful connections often goes unnoticed. And it's not because you skipped a couple of lectures, it's just that networking doesn't fit into the organic-chemistry syllabus or world history discussions. Experts agree that the most connected people are often the most prosperous. When you invest in your relationships, both professional and personal, you can expect dividends throughout your career. Moreover, it's not uncommon to find the least qualified people landing the job during an interview. Sometimes it's not always about what you know but who you know. So, take the time to build meaningful relationships with those in your professional circle. When the time comes to search for work or new business, you can tap into those valuable connections for referrals, insights into job leads, and other helpful information.
