Here are some of the things that you should really check out to be sure that when you are going to a networking event, or a coffee with someone or just working at Uni or an organisation and find someone who could really help.  Look at the topics and work out which ones you will use for each one. What am I seeking? What do I want people to think or know about me? Who do I need to know to achieve this? Who do I need to add to my network? Who do I currently know to help progress? What are my goals and what will I walk away with? Small talk-need to do that first often and then know when to start the other stuff How will you follow up? *there is a sentence that did not get finished at the end but it was just saying it is the end.
