Studies show that up to 85% of jobs are filled through networking and referrals.

But what do you do if you don’t have a network? What if the only people you know are academics? This interactive webinar will show you how to build a network of professionals working in career fields that interest you. You’ll learn how to network authentically and how to avoid common networking mistakes.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, Ph.D.s, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

  • How do I network in a way that feels genuine (rather than awkward or self-serving)?
  • Where do I begin networking?
  • What tools can I use to help grow my network?
  • How do I approach professionals working in fields of interest when I don’t know them?

Duke graduate students can attend this webinar for free through The Graduate School's subscription to Beyond the Professoriate.
