How to get people to guide you along the way?
Hi all,
I am currently a first year Economics student studying at the London School of Economics. In order to prepare myself for applications next year, I intend on expanding my personal network by attending networking events/alum events with the hope of securing a summer job this year and next year(currently still exploring but potentially IB/Asset Management).
My question is that given that there are so many other candidates potentially reaching out, how do I stand out from others while talking to them at a networking event/ through Linkedin and leave an impression? Also, what can I offer as a student, such that they will be willing to provide advice and assist me throughout my application? Any personal experiences that you can share?
