*Networking!* I testify that networking has an important role in building a successful Career! The people I meet at conferences and work engagements have been instrumental at making referrals, access to opportunities and even ideas or solutions to something I am stuck with! However, networking is more than just exchanging business cards. It's about building relationships that can open doors to new opportunities. Networking is that step you need to take to get clarity or get out of that creative block or feeling of overwhelm. When you attend events, join industry groups, and engage in conversations, you can: Expand your network: Connect with like-minded professionals. Gain valuable insights: Learn from the experiences of others. Find new job opportunities: Discover hidden job openings and career paths. Receive support and mentorship: Find mentors who can guide you in your career. (Join a professional organisations such as @sheandtech-nigeria) that offers mentorship programs.

I recently attended a Professional Networking Event, where I was able to get insights and advice from professionals about the value of business networking. From that experience, I learned that business networking is not just about making connections but rather it's about investing in your future and creating opportunities for growth and success in your own graduate career. With that said, I believe business networking is crucial for graduate career success. It creates opportunities by connecting you with job openings and projects. Networking provides insights, skills, and mentorship, helping to build your personal brand and access valuable resources. By actively engaging with professionals, I find you can expand your opportunities, acquire valuable knowledge and skills, and build a strong support system to help you achieve success in any future career. #professionalnetworking #careerdevelopment #networkingevent #wsupcc
