Networking Foundation and Profile Optimization

After identifying your career values, incorporating them into your narrative, and practicing with your MRED peers, you can venture into laying an intentional foundation for your network.

The optimization and utilization of an online presence, such as on Handshake and LinkedIn, can further articulate your professional story and goals within the industry.

Building out those profiles allows continual conversation with professionals beyond an initial introduction. We know the Real Estate Industry is about who you know, and who knows you. If you create relationships now, when an opportunity presents itself employers will have you top of mind. 

Next steps include incorporating a tailored version of your personal narrative in your bios, updating experience to reflect market alignment, and continued conversations with people inside your personal and growing professional circle.

Use the following resources to set yourself up for success! You can schedule an appointment with your Career Coach to discuss the intricacies of this process while incorporating personal strategy and brand.
