Networking!
Okay...

We answer all these questions below on this page!

- Once you have been hired for a student job, you can be re-hired easily.

- Students are eligible for student bridging (conditions apply). This is a non-advertised appointment (word of mouth) for a term or indeterminate position on any team!
- During your career
- Talk about your career interests and keep in touch with your colleagues! It's a small world and some job opportunities are not posted.
- Take advantage of every networking opportunity to introduce yourself, you never know when you might run into that person again!
- What we recommend doing...
- Use the MS Teams chat to engage in conversations with fellow students and colleagues.
- GCconnex and GCxchange are great ways to network during your student contract, but once your contract is over, you will lose all your connections.

- LinkedIn is an excellent professional tool for making connections and building your network.
- Twitter is another great platform to stay informed and involved in the conversation even when your student contract is up.
- Use a catchy title for your email.
- Write the person's name (e.g.: Hello Julie).
- Try to build a connection with the person before asking them for anything (e.g.: I could see from your LinkedIn profile that you also went to school X.).
- Write your email after a meeting and mention it (ex: I attended X meeting today).
- Ask to schedule a meeting with the person to discuss
- Tip: Start a conversation and find things in common with the person, don't ask for a job right away.
- Tip: Learn about cold emailing techniques to communicate with someone for the first time. Improve your solicitation technique and learn from your communication mistakes.
- Keep it brief!
- "Compliment" the person (ex: I loved your presentation on networking! That would be very helpful!).
Networking is an art! Learn from your mistakes and try to improve for next time!
