• Seek conversations with academic and outside professionals whenever you can.
• In your conversations, focus on them so you can hear what work is like in different careers and environments. Share your interests as well.
• Follow up with a specific thank-you message about what you most valued. Check-in with them periodically to build the professional relationship.
