Networking is an important career and life skill that you will use beyond your current needs. Whether you are seeking information about a particular career path, industry, or organization, or are in need of career advice, reaching out to professionals is an effective way to gain answers and build your own professional network.
It’s estimated that between 50-80% of internships and jobs are gained through networking. Use tools like LinkedIn (including the Bucknell University page), the Bucknell Alumni Directory found within BucknellConnect and Handshake to locate and connect with individuals with interesting career paths as well as company representatives.
