Ah, networking can be a bit of a jungle, can't it? But don't worry, I've got some tips for you.

  1. LinkedIn: Even if their emails are not listed, you can still send them a connection request with a personalized note explaining your interest in their work and Wells Fargo's CIB CRE group.

  2. Alumni Network: If you're still in school, check if there are any alumni working in that group. Schools often have databases or platforms to facilitate this kind of connection.

  3. Professional Organizations: Joining relevant professional organizations can also be a great way to meet people in the industry. For example, the National Society of Hispanic MBAs and Commercial Real Estate Women were mentioned in the context.

  4. Volunteering: If you have the time, volunteering for activities related to the industry can put you in contact with potential mentors.

  5. Events: Attend industry events, conferences, and seminars. These are great places to meet and connect with professionals in your field of interest.

Remember, networking is not just about taking - it's about building genuine relationships. Show interest in their work, ask insightful questions, and offer help when you can. Good luck swinging through this networking jungle!
