Original caption
I used to dread networking events. Even as an extrovert, the thought of “making conversation” with someone I didn’t know was terrifying. Especially as the first person in my family in corporate America. Conversation starters for cocktail hour was the last thing on my parents mind! But if you’re in a similar spot, I got you! Check out these conversation starters, and DM me SUBSTACK to get my weekly letter on work, money and family. I think you’ll really like it. #networking #careeradvice #networkingtips
