Networking for beginners

After some time at my internship I had some time to think back about my time trying to find my own internship and thatā€™s when I thought to myself ā€œI need to research how to do some networking.ā€ My professors’ network helped me get my position but theyā€™re not gonna be there forever. I had to learn how to create my own network and hereā€™s what I found. Of course there was the more obvious advice like going out to professional mixers and trading information but unfortunately with COVID still being the major pandemic that it is itā€™s a lot harder to make the most out of this option. Next is the use of social media which is much more easily accessible to me I personally donā€™t use social media but this isnā€™t the time for me to be introverted First iā€™d need to do some research on what good designer accounts look like then iā€™ll have to gather my work and adjust it for the format. Itā€™s not a major start but we all have to start somewhere.
