People always talk about getting opportunities through “networking”, but so many people go about it the wrong way resulting in unanswered calls and dead ends. It seems like there is a “missing manual” on how to do this effectively.

Former Bain consultant Yujin Chung will show you how to approach this with effective methods that help you forge genuinely relationships and not just “business card contacts”.
He will cover topics such as:
  • Connecting With The Right People
  • How to write a networking email that isn’t annoying
  • Building a social media presence: Linkedin, twitter, blog
  • How to build a base with alumni

Building Genuine Relationships

  • What do THEY need vs. what do I need?
  • How to identify what THEY are looking for
  • How you can build yourself to meet their profile
  • What can you do RIGHT NOW? (side projects, research, school projects, etc.)
  • How to use resources you have at Penn (alumni, MBAs, the Wharton brand, clubs, etc.)
  • Where should you work? What should you be looking for? (how to screen startups, media, and tech companies)
