Watch: Recording of Networking Without the Cringe: A Student's Guide

Walking into a room full of strangers doesn't have to feel awkward. You don't need a polished pitch or a resume full of experience. You need a bit of prep, a few good questions and a follow-up that makes people remember you.

Here's what you'll pick up from the session:

• Pick the right rooms. Where the startup people actually are, and how to tell which events are worth your evening.

• Prep in 15 minutes. Check who's going, tidy your LinkedIn, and write a one-liner as simple as "I'm studying econ and figuring out if product is for me."

• Start conversations easily. Openers that aren't small talk, what to ask founders, peers and people with jobs, and how to leave a chat gracefully.

• Follow up so people remember you. Most people drop the ball here. Do it well and you get a second chance at your first impression.

Make your follow-up stand out with a video resume

A resume shows what you've done. A 60-second video shows who you are: how you come across, what excites you, and why someone would want you on their team. It's the easiest way to make a stranger remember you after one conversation.

Reslink is a video resume platform built by the team behind TechTalk, the fastest growing career community helping people get jobs in tech. Record your intro once, then drop it into your follow-ups, LinkedIn messages and job applications as a single link. You'll even see when someone watches it, so you know exactly when to follow up.
