Networking and Small Talk Intensive for Master’s Students
Hal Matthews, Associate Director for Global Careers, Duke Career Center
Are you eager to expand your professional network but feel unsure what to say, how to start conversations, or how to make a lasting impression? Join Duke Career Center for a focused intensive designed to help you build your networking and small-talk skills.
In just one session, you’ll have the chance to:
- Learn practical strategies to start, sustain, and end conversations with ease
- Practice networking in a supportive, low-stakes environment
- Build confidence in talking about your academic and professional experiences
- Discover techniques for following up and turning connections into opportunities
- Create a personalized plan for using these skills at upcoming events, conferences, or interviews
Ph.D. students are welcome to attend; however, discussions will be geared toward students who are ready to apply the content in the near term.
Please note that breakfast will not be provided for this session. You are welcome to bring your own food or snacks with you.
This workshop is sponsored by Duke Career Center.
