You need to build a network as you build a career. So, how do you get started?
This week on New Here, we explore different ways to start building professional relationships – in a way that feels authentic. And we’ll learn how to sustain those relationships over time.
Former tech executive Eric Rodriguez and Gael Aitor, co-host of Teenager Therapy and co-founder of Astro Studios, help host Elainy Mata understand that networking is about finding ways to support other people and building long-term relationships.
They share how they make new connections and build on them, as well as some of their networking horror stories. And they help Elainy answer your questions about networking.

Key topics include: personal networks, communication, careers.
