Networking is no longer about handing out business cards—it’s about creating authentic, lasting relationships both online and offline:

• Virtual Networking: Join LinkedIn groups, comment thoughtfully on posts, and attend webinars.
• Hybrid Events: Many conferences are now both in-person and virtual. Use these to connect with peers across borders.
• Informational Interviews: Request short conversations to learn about someone’s role—not just to ask for a job.
• Follow-Up Strategy: After meeting someone, send a personalized note within 24 hours.

The best networking is value-driven. Offer insights, share resources, and be genuine in your interactions.
