Networking pre-covid was awkward...let's face it. It was showing up to a meetup or a conference and you only hung out with the few people you knew. You watched 45 slides on a topic that you don't understand only to leave the session and be even more confused. You then leave the networking event almost feeling worse than before (it maybe was the pizza), AND you didn't meet anyone new. Well, networking has changed, especially because of Covid. In this session, I dig into how to leverage social media platforms like Linkedin/Twitter specifically to find your next opportunity.

Every since COVID hit in 2020 I have become fascinated with how people communicate online. After going through the job search myself this past year, I realized the power of networking over social media long before you ever need anything from your community. This talk is from my personal experiences not to mention the countless conversations with folks I've had in the engineering world that have put themselves out on there and have only benefited from it.
