Networking: what’s the norm?
How many calls / chats do you have in one week (particularly those who are actively looking for internship / off-cycle / AN1 )?
How many calls per week are good enough to elevate the chances? Also, how do you get the calls and chats? To me it’s mostly cold-messaging alumni etc and then whatever stems from it - stems.
What’s your approach then? Do you go searching for people company by company or what is your method?
I made 4 Posts on here today and it seems I better go to bed now. I’d appreciate if you could send me some suggestions / recomms to update / reassess my own approach. I’ll get to them in the morning!
Theres no magic quota you should be hitting. Someone may only need one phone call while someone else may network with 100+ people and have nothing.
I think I was probably talking to ~3 people per week. Emailing a lot more. I was targeting ER though so theres a smaller pool to talk to.
Strategy: search on LinkedIn -> Message -> Call.
I had pretty good luck messaging nonalumni too, so cast a wider net
Thanks a lot - you’re my hero
Quality over quantity….it doesn’t matter if you do 100 calls if no one finds you interesting. Target people with similar profile, spend some time learning about what they do. Ask questions that are related to their experience, but also related to their individual careers (e.g. biggest struggles/challenges, why they work in a specific field etc.). People love to feel useful so try to really make it personal while keeping some distance…
