I attended a virtual Networking event where guest speaker Evan Maeda a Lead Product Designer at The New York Times talks about his past about how he landed his first internship. While he was talking about his first internship, one thing that struck me was the word networking as it was mentioned in the internship class numerous times, networking he mentioned is a great tool to find an internship since you are able to have others help you in finding one than having to look for one yourself. It was an amazing experience as many city tech students attended the event and were able to get a lot of helpful tips for the students who are in their freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior years. There’s also part two of the networking event that I highly recommend to any students who are interested in joining.
