Networking is one of
the best ways to gain an advantage when it comes to job seeking but it does
also give people a better understanding of the world around them. One thing you
can do is to look up clubs at Kingsborough. You can meet other people that are
passionate about the subject you like, for example the Film Club. Meeting other
students in this club and professors can lead to being more informed. Possible
connections to the industry can open up, for example, a fellow student that
knows about filming equipments and can give you tips on how to maximize the use
of the equipments. Professor might have friends in this profession and can help
you out in talking to them about internships or insightful pointers. By the end
you will get a clear view in how things work if not informed.
Another way to network
is by talking to your counselors, in my experience it has help me a lot when it
came to knowing more about my academic outlook and how to get to where I want
to be. By talking to counselors they can give you a better sense of where to
go. If it be school related, career and jobs/internships related information.
Even if there are no jobs available at the school you can leave them your
information and they will call you when things open up.
One last source of
networking is with your class professor. In my experience in every level of
school, knowing your professor is a plus. By talking to your professor more and
asking for help can lead to a better understanding of the class work. If the
class relates to the career you see yourself in the professor might help give
you more information of the career and what it takes to make it. In the end
putting your name and presence out their even if you think is not much can it
can lead to opportunities that otherwise might not have happen if you did not
put yourself on the map. Knowing people is always a plus even if there is
nothing to gain from them.
