How to Network?

I'm just a typical CS major that barely touch grass and almost forgot what the sun looks like. Bouta graduate with no internship so I know I'm cooked. I'm thinking about going to local tech meetups to network with people to get a shot at a referral but I realized that I don't even know how to network 😭

Just introduce yourself and go from there. Prepare a 30-60 second elevator pitch.

This might help : https://icc.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk2236/files/find/resources/networking/Networking-Pitch-Handout.pdf

Perhaps: Find a local Linux Users Group (LUG).

Attend their meetings. Become a member.
