Build a professional network that supports your growth
Learn how to map your network, start meaningful conversations, and stay top-of-mind without feeling transactional.
Guide
Start by mapping the people who already know your work: teammates, mentors, alumni, and past managers. Reach out with a short update and a genuine question about what they are working on.
Add consistency by setting a weekly reminder to connect with one new person. Focus on sharing insights, asking questions, and offering help where you can.
Keep a simple list of who you spoke with and when you plan to follow up. Networks grow when you nurture them consistently.
