New grad asking for advice and going on a mini rant
Hi,
First off, I am glad I found a space that is for women ❤️👸!!!
I just graduated from college about a week ago with civil degree (yayyy!).
In school, I felt like the odd one out because my peers were mostly younger men. I am also a young mom, so I was in a different stage of life and didn’t really connect with them because I was busy being a mom to a baby and figuring out how to navigate that so I didn’t have free time to meet up and study. There was definitely just a disconnect in general lol.
When I got my degree I was so elated that I could get on with life. It felt like I was in that place for at least 25 years 😵😵. It was only 5, but so much had happened!!
Anyway, now I’m on the search for a job and it’s been a couple weeks so far, but I’m not making a ton of progress and don’t have that many connections. I have no idea how to even begin asking someone for a referral. Could any of you all be so kind to give me some advice on how to start networking 😅?
I didn’t think I’d ever be the one coming on Reddit making a post because I’m usually a lurker ,but here I am.
If you got this far thanks for listening to my mini rant
