Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hello, and welcome to EduKatedSTEM.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am Kate, the founder of EduKatedSTEM,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and today we're going to be talking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about networking, So sometimes you
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,might be qualified for the role. You might
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,apply for the role, but you don't even
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get interviewed. And maybe if you had
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,utilized your network or had built a network,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you would have a completely different
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,outcome. So, this is one of the reasons
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why I'm going to encourage you to develop,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,build a network, and then nurture it so
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that when you are ready to move on,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can work with your network. Let
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them know that you are looking for
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another opportunity, And maybe you
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can utilize them to get informational
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interviews or other things. But the first
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing is, you need to network. Now, when
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mentioned that word did a chill, go
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down your spine? I've had a lot of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conversations with individuals who
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think networking has kind of a horrible
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,connotation. It's slimy. It is kind of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using people you know to get your
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,own way or for your own benefit.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it goes both ways, right? So,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're in your network. You could
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,potentially help them. They might
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be looking for that as well. And
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're going to be building a network
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of friends and colleagues. So, these
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are going to be people that you want
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be connected with. You're not
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to be, hopefully meeting someone
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you don't want to be talking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to in the future, because that is going
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be uncomfortable for you. So, let's
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talk about maybe networking at a
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conference because, as a scientist,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is what you're going to be doing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hopefully you're going to go to a
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conference you're going to listen
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to presentations. You're going to
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learn new information. You might
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,present a poster, you might present
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an oral presentation. And then
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hopefully you're going to talk with
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your peers, maybe meeting new
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people. Maybe figuring out who
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you might want to be working for
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or with in the future. So, networking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,isn't a bad thing, But I'm going to
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,encourage you to go in with plan.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I've seen a number of networking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talks. At ABRCMS I saw a talk
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,specifically for networking for introverts,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was very, very good, but I
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thought a lot of the information
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was also quite pertinent to people
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who were not introverts. So I'm an
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,introvert. I find the concept of going
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to conferences and going to networking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,events. It's challenging. It really is.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I force myself to do it because
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, the more you do it, the
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,easier it becomes. And I take advice
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from my friend Mary Mitchell and
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she always said, when you go, just
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have a goal in mind. So, if your goal
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to meet a certain person, then
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is what you try and do. If it's
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to meet a certain number of people,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you know three to five individuals
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in and to have a good conversation
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with them, then that is what you do.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once you have met your your goal,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your requirement, it's then up to you
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you then choose to leave the
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,networking event. But hopefully
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by that point, you will feel comfortable.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You've made some friends. You
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,might actually want to stay. When
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're going to a conference,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially nowadays, a lot of the
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time you will get information on a
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conference app. so ABRCMS
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,definitely does that. The National
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Postdoc Association does that.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they actually use the same app.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I might completely kill the pronunciation
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whova, I'm not sure but it's a good
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little app. It has a list of all of the
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,attendees. It has the presentations,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where they are, what the talks are.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can go on and you can highlight.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, I want to go to these presentations,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you have an itinerary,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then the app can say, you know,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you've got to talk in 10 minutes in this
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,place, so it's very, very helpful. But
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can utilize the app to kind of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,come up with a plan for what you
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to do for networking. So, maybe
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is someone in your field that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are absolutely dying to meet.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are they on the list of attendees?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If they are, are they speaking? If
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're speaking you absolutely
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know where they're going to be
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at one point of time. So you could
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try and go and speak to them after
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they have finished. Or maybe you
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just know that they're going to be
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there so, maybe you try and have
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a conversation in a more relaxed
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,setting. So, maybe over a coffee,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or you see them at a lunch table,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you ask if you can join them.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whatever it is, if there are certain
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people that you want to meet,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then let's try and make that happen.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why do you want to meet them?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe you want to potentially work
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with them in the future. You just
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to have a chat about an
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,experiment or a paper that they've done.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whatever it is. So let's focus on
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we want to get out of that.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And maybe there are other people
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there who would be helpful, someone
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who works at an institution that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're interested in working at, but
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not necessarily that individual.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can have a conversation with
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them and find out is it a great place
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to work? Maybe you'll have a
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chat to them and go. Oh, I don't
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to do that. I don't want to move
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on. So look at the conference
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,attendees and see who you might
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be interested in working for or talking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to. And the next thing is be prepared.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, as a graduate student, you might
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not have the opportunity to have
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,graduate sorry, to have business cards.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But maybe your graduate school
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will purchase them for you. We used
