Why network?

When you start looking for opportunities, your professional network can help you find opportunities by telling you where to look or keeping you in mind when they see new opportunities. 你的关系网甚至可以在你申请的时候为你担保. 

当你建立人际关系时，使用LinkedIn.

  • LinkedIn类似于社交媒体，但针对的是专业人士! 你可以与人交流， 找到工作/实习机会并申请，找到特拉华大学校友等等.
