🐻🎉 Networking Tip #1: don’t approach networking expecting to be helped, be clear on what you’re good at, and how YOU can be helpful, i.e. if you’re looking for work, don’t start with "I’m looking for work", instead, start with "I’m the best at doing ABC, I’ve successfully done DEF before, and I can help your startup in GHI ways, for JKL results" Tip #2: become a regular at recurring events (like the Food Court Event!! I’m organizing 5 events this week!!), build up a personal brand over many interactions over many years, and you’ll have so many super-connected Cornellians referring you Tip #3: become the best in your industry!! networking helps move things along, but you still have to be the best at what you do!! always work on improving your craft, know the most about your industry, meet the most decision makers, own the most important assets, hire the best employees!! come to the Food Court Events!! I’m organizing 4 in the DC area and 1 in NYC!! I really hope to see you!!!
