| 3 Networking Tips for Business School Students |
Networking Tip #1: Talk to Your Classmates
Your classmates were accepted to business school for a reason: they have potential. By networking directly with your business school classmates, you build relationships with people who will end up with important jobs in your industry. Your classmates could be potential business partners, employers, employees, suppliers, or clients. Getting to know them while you are still peers is an opportunity you don't want to pass up.
Networking Tip #2: Join, Join, Join
Most business schools offer a wide range of activities that are directly related to your program or industry. You should try to join as many of these activities as you reasonably have time for. They provide valuable networking opportunities that can't be found anywhere else. The people you meet in your spare time could turn into lifelong contacts. (Regular participation in specific groups and activities also gives you something to put on your resume after you get out of school.)
Networking Tip #3: Start Your Own Organization
If you can't find enough networking events to keep you busy while you are in business school, consider starting your own organization. Study groups, charitable causes, mixers and even book clubs provide a wonderful chance to network--especially when you control who is invited.
