Think of networking as a way to make valuable connections for future opportunities. In the past, it meant meeting people in person. Now, it starts online, before any virtual or in-person meetings. This course teaches you how to excel at digital networking, which can lead to fantastic chances. E-networking is a skill you develop with practice. In parallel, you also build your professional online presence, starting on a platform like LinkedIn. One new connection, a referral, a relevant comment, or a shared post can open doors for exciting opportunities. This approach will work for you even if you don't like to stand out or brag, are an introvert, or don't like writing.
