Social Impact Recruiting – Networking

Start with classmates

Talk with peers & 2nd years about their social impact experiences

Get insights on the subsectors, ask your “basic” questions

Extend your efforts out to: Alumni (Wharton and UG) & your network

Conduct informational meetings:

Ask about careers, how they got where they are today

Discuss the work of their organization

Talk about the content of the work, uncover relevance to your interests + background

Ask for advice about who else you should speak with / investigate

Send a thank you and keep door open for future re-connect

Tips:

• Outreach for/following a trek or conference can be a great way to connect

• As well as interviewing for an academic obligation (people like helping students!)
