She joins undergraduate student Raine Yan Tse in this episode of 平特五不中 Management Insights to share her expertise on how to get ahead at any stage of your career, including how to make networking work for you.

鈥淚 kind of keep networking simple,鈥 she explains. 鈥淔irst of all, I don't love the word I'll be honest, because we have such a connotation to it. Nobody gets excited about it. [It鈥檚] almost like we make it a chore, like it's work.鈥

Approaching networking in a more flexible, open-minded way can go a long way toward making the experience feel like less of a chore. It can be as simple as setting up a few coffee chats with alumni working in fields that interest you and just seeing where that can lead.

鈥淪ometimes we get so goal oriented on our networking that we lose the fun, and we lose the authenticity in it,鈥 she says. 鈥淪o, if I say to you, you know what, just have two lunches and three coffees every week. I don't even care who it's with. That's it. If I gave you that tip, I promise you, within three months you would come back to me and say, 鈥業 cannot believe what happened.鈥欌

She also shares her thoughts on when to consider a change in role or industry or a jump towards entrepreneurship, tips for managing relationships and managing a budget as a new grad, and the value of asking for help from a coach or mentor.
