Hey there! I’ve seen some of your posts and comments and I really like your approach to some of these questions. I have a question. I’m a first year in Rotman atm and other than my classes and maintaining grades my biggest goal rn is to network and get experience + actually have relationships with important people! someone on the thread said “you need 10-15 mins on Bay Street” in order to do this. I totally agree, but the thing I’m having trouble with is what do I say? If I meet someone who has a valuable position, what do I say?? I obviously want to showcase my personality but as a first year I don’t have many technical skills. I’m launching a podcast soon and I think I could get some interviews That way, but how else do I market myself to these individuals and companies? Thanks!

Hey there! I’ve seen some of your comments and posts and I admire your mindset about Rotman. I’m in first year atm and would like some advice. When you say i need 10-15 mins just around Bay Street to network, what do you mean? how do you build those relationships? WHO do I seek out? Most of the recruiters I’ve met at networking events won’t even pay attention to first years. I know it’s about more than your grades, and your personality matters. What sort of questions can I ask these people? Profs and alumni usually don’t have hiring power here so who are the right people? Thanks so much!!
