(JD 09)I’ve heard people say they don’t like networking because it feels disingenuous, but this absolutely does not need to be the case. When I “network” I make a point of attending events (like fundraisers) for organizations I admire, and seek out conversation with people who I think will be able to teach me something, not instantly offer me a job. Many times, the information I pick up leads to opportunities to get involved, which I treat as working interviews. For me, expressing an interest to learn, and following up with notes and phone calls, has led to internships, informational interviews, and involvement in local associations.
