It's your turn
You need to put what you've learned in this final part of the course to good use, and find events you can attend to expand your network.
The objective is to find six events within the next two months you could attend. To help you, complete the following two steps:
Create an account on meetup.com, and register with three different active groups that cover the same sector, and register to attend events from each group.
Sign up to three events/organizations’ newsletters or blogs to keep informed on future career events. The organizations could be a career conference organizer, an industry trade body, the alumni association for you university, or a specialist recruitment agency.
