My older sister has been always lecturing me how important it is to network and that it can be very helpful. I think that is one reason why she got the position as a Vice President in her dept. at PNC Bank. Anyways, I joined a young professional club and they host events. Events sometimes include beer crawls, volleyball, baseball games, restaurants, and coffee shops.

I’m going to my first networking event tomorrow at 6pm at a grille. It’s a casual restaurant in a kind of trendy place. I’m not sure if I should dress business professional/casual? It’s kind of odd for me to just go in a place where I do not know anyone. Am I supposed to talk about personal stuff or immediately talk about work life and work goals?
