Hi Kendra,

Thanks for writing us and for attending last week’s ‘Networking During Social Distancing’ webinar! Networking can definitely feel challenging at first, especially to people that are more introverted. Think of the process of networking like building a muscle—the more you engage with it, the faster it will start to feel like a strength.  

I’ve reached out to Julie for a response to your question. In the meantime, I would recommend checking out these resources:

Thank you very much. I truly want to get better at networking and navigating this daunting career search! :-)

The more I listen, read, and practice networking I’m sure it’ll get easier.

Thanks again. Take care!
