Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.24,0:00:03.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hello, and welcome to EduKatedSTEM.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.26,0:00:05.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am Kate, the founder of EduKatedSTEM,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.56,0:00:07.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and today we're going to be talking
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.02,0:00:10.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about networking, So sometimes you
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.44,0:00:13.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,might be qualified for the role. You might
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.40,0:00:15.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,apply for the role, but you don't even
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.84,0:00:18.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get interviewed. And maybe if you had
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.54,0:00:22.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,utilized your network or had built a network,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.29,0:00:24.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you would have a completely different
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.98,0:00:28.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,outcome. So, this is one of the reasons
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.38,0:00:31.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why I'm going to encourage you to develop,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.83,0:00:35.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,build a network, and then nurture it so
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.80,0:00:38.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that when you are ready to move on,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.16,0:00:41.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can work with your network. Let
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.56,0:00:42.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them know that you are looking for
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.75,0:00:45.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another opportunity, And maybe you
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.56,0:00:47.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can utilize them to get informational
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.56,0:00:50.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interviews or other things. But the first
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.23,0:00:53.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing is, you need to network. Now, when
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.53,0:00:55.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mentioned that word did a chill, go
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.56,0:00:57.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down your spine? I've had a lot of
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.74,0:00:59.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conversations with individuals who
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.69,0:01:02.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think networking has kind of a horrible
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.91,0:01:07.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,connotation. It's slimy. It is kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.42,0:01:11.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using people you know to get your
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.17,0:01:13.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,own way or for your own benefit.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.54,0:01:16.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it goes both ways, right? So,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.64,0:01:17.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're in your network. You could
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.95,0:01:20.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,potentially help them. They might
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.10,0:01:22.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be looking for that as well. And
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.95,0:01:25.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're going to be building a network
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.24,0:01:28.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of friends and colleagues. So, these
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.23,0:01:29.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are going to be people that you want
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.45,0:01:31.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be connected with. You're not
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.92,0:01:34.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to be, hopefully meeting someone
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.63,0:01:37.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you don't want to be talking
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.18,0:01:40.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to in the future, because that is going
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.52,0:01:44.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be uncomfortable for you. So, let's
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.11,0:01:47.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talk about maybe networking at a
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.36,0:01:49.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conference because, as a scientist,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.10,0:01:51.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is what you're going to be doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.26,0:01:52.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hopefully you're going to go to a
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.31,0:01:54.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conference you're going to listen
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.09,0:01:55.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to presentations. You're going to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.96,0:01:58.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learn new information. You might
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.21,0:01:59.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,present a poster, you might present
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.59,0:02:04.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an oral presentation. And then
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.37,0:02:06.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hopefully you're going to talk with
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.64,0:02:10.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your peers, maybe meeting new
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.17,0:02:13.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people. Maybe figuring out who
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.36,0:02:15.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you might want to be working for
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.94,0:02:18.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or with in the future. So, networking
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.97,0:02:22.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,isn't a bad thing, But I'm going to
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.50,0:02:25.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,encourage you to go in with a plan.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.28,0:02:27.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I've seen a number of networking
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.27,0:02:30.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talks. At ABRCMS I saw a talk
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.60,0:02:33.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,specifically for networking for introverts,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.79,0:02:35.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was very, very good, but I
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.37,0:02:37.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thought a lot of the information
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.05,0:02:39.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was also quite pertinent to people
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.69,0:02:44.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who were not introverts. So I'm an
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.60,0:02:47.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,introvert. I find the concept of going
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.62,0:02:50.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to conferences and going to networking
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.78,0:02:53.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,events. It's challenging. It really is.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.12,0:02:56.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I force myself to do it because
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.07,0:02:57.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, the more you do it, the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.98,0:03:01.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,easier it becomes. And I take advice
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.78,0:03:04.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from my friend Mary Mitchell and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.91,0:03:08.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she always said, when you go, just
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.50,0:03:10.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have a goal in mind. So, if your goal
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.99,0:03:14.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to meet a certain person, then
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.78,0:03:16.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is what you try and do. If it's
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.93,0:03:20.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to meet a certain number of people,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.47,0:03:23.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you know three to five individuals
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.26,0:03:25.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in and to have a good conversation
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.26,0:03:27.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with them, then that is what you do.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.29,0:03:31.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once you have met your goal,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.12,0:03:33.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your requirement, it's then up to you
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.60,0:03:35.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you then choose to leave the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.56,0:03:38.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,networking event. But hopefully
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.63,0:03:41.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by that point, you will feel comfortable.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.89,0:03:43.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You've made some friends. You
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.46,0:03:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,might actually want to stay. When
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.12,0:03:49.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're going to a conference,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.66,0:03:51.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially nowadays, a lot of the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.39,0:03:55.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time you will get information on a
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.67,0:03:57.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conference app. so ABRCMS
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.92,0:03:59.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,definitely does that. The National
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.50,0:04:01.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Postdoc Association does that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.37,0:04:03.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they actually use the same app.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.32,0:04:05.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I might completely kill the pronunciation
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.97,0:04:11.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whova, I'm not sure but it's a good
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.02,0:04:12.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little app. It has a list of all of the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.93,0:04:15.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,attendees. It has the presentations,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.20,0:04:16.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where they are, what the talks are.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.95,0:04:20.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can go on and you can highlight.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.93,0:04:22.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, I want to go to these presentations,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.72,0:04:25.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you have an itinerary,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.03,0:04:28.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then the app can say, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.11,0:04:29.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you've got to talk in 10 minutes in this
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.95,0:04:32.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,place, so it's very, very helpful. But
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.34,0:04:35.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can utilize the app to kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.34,0:04:37.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,come up with a plan for what you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.23,0:04:39.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to do for networking. So, maybe
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.46,0:04:41.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is someone in your field that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.89,0:04:43.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are absolutely dying to meet.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.84,0:04:46.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are they on the list of attendees?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.28,0:04:48.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If they are, are they speaking? If
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.96,0:04:50.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're speaking you absolutely
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.72,0:04:52.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know where they're going to be
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.02,0:04:55.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at one point of time. So you could
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.84,0:04:57.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try and go and speak to them after
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.84,0:05:00.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they have finished. Or maybe you
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.80,0:05:02.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just know that they're going to be
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.52,0:05:04.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there so, maybe you try and have
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.02,0:05:07.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a conversation in a more relaxed
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.14,0:05:08.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,setting. So, maybe over a coffee,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.54,0:05:10.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or you see them at a lunch table,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.17,0:05:11.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you ask if you can join them.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.80,0:05:14.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whatever it is, if there are certain
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.05,0:05:15.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people that you want to meet,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.90,0:05:18.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then let's try and make that happen.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.60,0:05:20.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why do you want to meet them?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.30,0:05:21.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe you want to potentially work
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.93,0:05:25.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with them in the future. You just
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.34,0:05:26.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to have a chat about an
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.51,0:05:27.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,experiment or a paper that they've done.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.89,0:05:29.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whatever it is. So let's focus on
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.99,0:05:33.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we want to get out of that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.59,0:05:35.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And maybe there are other people
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.52,0:05:38.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there who would be helpful, someone
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.64,0:05:40.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who works at an institution that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.09,0:05:41.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're interested in working at, but
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.99,0:05:43.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not necessarily that individual.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.82,0:05:45.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can have a conversation with
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.25,0:05:47.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them and find out is it a great place
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.52,0:05:48.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to work? Maybe you'll have a
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.93,0:05:50.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chat to them and go. Oh, I don't
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.63,0:05:52.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to do that. I don't want to move
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.12,0:05:55.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on. So look at the conference
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.41,0:05:58.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,attendees and see who you might
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.33,0:06:01.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be interested in working for or talking
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.36,0:06:04.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to. And the next thing is be prepared.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.73,0:06:07.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, as a graduate student, you might
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.14,0:06:09.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not have the opportunity to have
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.53,0:06:12.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,graduate sorry, to have business cards.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.16,0:06:16.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But maybe your graduate school
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.56,0:06:18.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will purchase them for you. We used
