>> Get your face out there.
Networking is huge not only in that you're able to make connections that might be beneficial
for your future, but also just I've learned so many tips and tricks and so many small pieces
of advice from people who are just doing similar things.
And join affinity groups, you know, I'm part of the Public Relations Society of America,
I'm part of Ad 2 Orlando which is the under 30 chapter of the American Advertising Federation.
By being able to have those connections and say, you know, if I'm having trouble with something
on WordPress because I'm working on our websites and a plugin goes down
and our whole website crashes which has happened before I'm able
to go to those people that I've met.
And there's groups and say, can anyone help me,
this is what I'm going through, does anyone have any advice.
So, being able to go and know that I have support not only on my team,
but because you've built that network is so beneficial because usually if you're going
to be hired, especially at a nonprofit you're probably going
to be the only person who's doing what you're doing.
There's no one above me that's really familiar with social media
or knows really what those best practices are, so being able to find whether it's a mentor
or that support group outside of it is going to help you leaps and bounds.
Because when you're trapped you know who you can go
to to help find the light at the end of the tunnel.
