Employer Tip of The Week - Virtual Networking | Northwestern Mutual

Each week the Business Career Center Newsletter will share advice from employers. Check out what advice employer, Northwestern Mutual, has to say about virtual networking.

No handshake, now what? How to successfully network in virtual situations:
1. Be prepared – who will be at the event, who are you wanting to connect with, what’s something about the organization, have a few questions in mind.
2. Be Professional – Video on, be present. Don’t show up in a t-shirt, don’t have your roommates walking in the background.
3. Be curious – “to be interesting, be interested” be you, share your story, listen, ask questions.
4. Follow up - connect on LinkedIn add a note, ask to meet again, or send a handwritten thank you note.
