Answers will vary a lot, depending on you and what you’d like to do, and your location. It’s been a while since I’ve been to an event, but I would try to find a way to volunteer for it, so it honestly would give me that extra push while there to be visible. Mentors can also be great, can be some trial and error to find a good fit, though.

How do I go about getting in contact with a mentor?! As I would love to do something like that
The best way to network is to just let it happen organically. As you go to various work-related events, meet people and establish a rapport with them and stay in touch. That's it, really. Be in touch with people and when you need to know something you'll have people to contact, and they in turn may suggest people you could contact.

I do really like the idea of this. I’m quite a shy person so I do find it hard, but I absolutely know that I need to do it. And I’m sure the more I do it and the more events I go to the more I’ll get used to it
I attend a weekly happy hour with some other women in my industry. It started organically with me and a couple of coworkers and has just grown from there. We've been doing it for about two years now, and it's a great way to find out about new opportunities in our medium sized city.

Ahh that sounds lovely!! I would love to do something like that, but I would have no idea where to even look to see if there is anything like that near me !

I believe networking starts with your own team. You never know who will leave and go to companies you might want to work for in the future. From there, if there are any finance societies in your area, attending those can also help broaden your network.

Yeah that’s a very good point! I will definitely make a start internally for sure
