Networking During a Pandemic
Covid-19 has made networking easier, faster and less expensive. It’s ever so much easier to network during a time period in which many people are desperate for human connections. It’s certainly faster when attending an event simply requires clicking a link to a video conference room. And even a cash-strapped student can afford to pull off a virtual cocktail party since all he or she requires is an internet connection, a few nibbles and beverage for one.
