How to Build a Professional Network in a New Career Field: A Webinar for Master’s Students

Image

Changing careers is challenging. One of the biggest difficulties career changers face is that they do not have an existing network in their new field. The people you worked with before may not be able to help you move into a new industry, and it can be hard to know where to start building new connections.

As a career changer completing your master’s degree to move into a new career field, building a professional network is one of the most important steps you can take. A strong network in your new field can help you learn about job opportunities, get advice from people already working in that field, and increase your chances of being considered for a position in a new industry.

Join Beyond Graduate School for this webinar designed specifically for career changers who are completing a master's degree to enter a new profession.

This webinar is designed for master's students from all academic disciplines who are wondering

• Is networking really that important for me, even with my master’s and previous professional experience?
• How do I start building a network in a career field where I have no existing connections?
• What do I say to people when I am new to a field and do not have relevant experience yet?

Duke master's students in M.S., A.M., M.F.A., and M.A.T. degree programs can attend this webinar for free, including access to replays of events when available, through The Graduate School's subscription to Beyond Graduate School. Advance registration is required.
