Build your Network - Foundation for your Career

The people you meet now can become part of your ongoing professional network.

Right now you are in a great place.  You have an opportunity to find other individuals that aren't exactly like you -  but have some of the same passions and are driven in the same ways.  Search them out.  Take time to engage them.

It's these casual friends, these weak links, that can point you to SOMETHING NEW.
You will help each other along your career path.
