How to Network?

Hey guys, so everyone in this forum emphasizes the importance of NETWORK for getting ur foot in the industry. can you guys plz suggest few strategies for poor B.comm grad with cfa level 1? i have no financial industry experience and my gpa is somewhat mediocre from top university in Canada. i am super passionate about finance but was not lucky enuf (or didn’t work hard enuf) to get any internship or relevant work experience any help is always appreciated thanks in advance

enuf is enuf dotamasta

^ jajaja!

You can always tell when someone has a degree in communications…

Capital letters appreciated as well

No capitalization, poor grammar, and poor punctuation…you got off to a great start on this website.

enuf plz. do you like bonds?

super passionate about finance is not enuff you need to be mega super ultra passionate…networking is something that should happen organically or else its simply stiff and awkward…for example you can give back by volunteering to mentor inner city youth, you will feel better about yourself and at the same time meet people…networking is just simply about meeting people in various settings so that the next time you need something from them they recall meeting you previously ( hopefully with a good recollection)

OP are you a warcraft 3 fan of DOTA? I used to be awesome at DOTA. don’t mind these guys, warcraft 3 players are hiding among the elite finance people… make sure to float warcraft during the interview and see if you get any bites.

yup, tell them you can run a portfolio like getting mmmmmooonster kill with PA. You’ll be buddy with CIO straight away.
