Event
Introversion and Networking
Tuesday, March 26, 2024 12:00to13:30
You've heard it before: networking is key to advancing your career. But what if you are tapped out, dread speaking up and reaching out, and don鈥檛 have any contacts in the industry you鈥檙e hoping to join? Often our environments in graduate school favor the personality style of extroversion 鈥� whether it鈥檚 working in a group lab environment or networking at a conference, doing science at a professional level often pulls on the strengths of extroverts.聽 In this workshop we will explore and celebrate the strengths of introverts and discuss how you can use those strengths to your advantage in your work and personal lives.聽 This workshop is presented as a collaboration between CaPS and the Student Wellness Hub.聽 All are welcome.
By attending this session, you will be able to:鈥��
- Approach doing 鈥渟cience while introverted鈥� with less anxiety聽
- Demystify networking and work on concrete strategies such as identifying tools for networking online (e.g., LinkedIn)
- Get more comfortable with networking by learning tips and scripts to reach out to new people for one-on-one conversations
Please register 24 hours prior to the start time of the workshop to receive the invitation to the online meeting.
