The Scenario: You attended a workshop on campus yesterday titled "Effective Academic Networking," hosted by a guest speaker, Mr. Julian Thorne. The workshop provided strategies on how students can connect with professionals in their field of study. You had to leave a few minutes early to catch a bus and didn't get to ask your question.
Write an email to Mr. Thorne. In your email, do the following:
-
Mention that you attended his workshop and identify one specific networking strategy he mentioned that you found valuable.
-
Ask for more clarification or a specific tip regarding how to approach a professional via email for the first time.
-
Ask if he can recommend any professional websites or local networking groups that would be useful for a student in your field.
