Networking for International Students: How to Build Relationships using Informational Interviews

This workshop will guide you through the essentials of conducting effective informational interviews, a valuable tool for career exploration, networking, and building relationships in the United States.

Presented by Yaniv Kleinman, Associate Director of Career Services, you will learn the purpose and benefits of these conversations, explore cultural considerations regarding timing, availability, and format, and develop a system for scheduling and tracking their interactions.

By learning from another student, you will refine their questioning skills and gain confidence in engaging with professionals. Finally, the workshop will emphasize strategies for building lasting relationships with alumni and contacts, ensuring continued growth and opportunities beyond the initial conversation.

Snacks and beverages will be served.
