Biggest advice anyone give for MBB is to get a referral. Usually this would be someone from your network that you know. But what if you don’t anyone. Going cold Turkey on LinkedIn doesn’t work even if you have shared connections; doesn’t translate to meetings etc. I know something about my approach to networking is not correct. I understand that networking is more about relationship building and fostering a mutual long term relation. And was wondering if anyone had any advice. (Rising senior)

Does Northwestern have a platform where you can connect with alumni? Georgetown has one so I used that sometimes to get referrals to opportunities I applied to.

You should be getting responses on LinkedIn if you’re reaching out to Northwestern alum. How are you going about that?

I have been trying to connect with northwestern alums but haven’t received a single response yet

Cold messaging does work. It depends on your message

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?

I was not offered the role that I interviewed via email. How shall I respond (while leaving a positive impression) for future consideration?
