Top 5 networking tips

1. Be Confident

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, make sure you're confident with your skills and abilities.  Talk to anyone and everyone, what's the worse that could happen!

2. Sell Yourself

Let everyone know what you're good at and what you do, be able to sell yourself in minutes, you want people to be interested in you!

2. Utilise your pre-existing networks

Whether it be your lecturers or fellow course members, they could be of use to you.  Your lecturers will have expertise in your desired field so are a great place to start when looking for useful industry contacts or a starting point on good places to intern.  Your peers are also in the same boat as you so it's great to pull your resources out and help each other out! 

3. Use the Internet

The Internet boom has meant that entering the job market these days has a lot to do with cyberspace.  Google useful job sites and use social media sites such as LinkedIn which are specifically career based.  Social media sites Twitter and FaceBook are also great for networking.

4. Do your research

Make sure you know the key players in the industry you're interested in so that you're targeting the right people.  This doesn't necessarily mean you should only target the people at the top but that you're making sure you're acquiring a useful art of networks!
