Being visible on and networking is an important part of building our cv or work experience.
With connecting to different people, we get to know different opportunities and new terminologies that help us not only with expansion of our knowledge but also expansion of our exposure.

Whether be it LinkedIn for online networking or school events for offline networking, every step taken for knowing different perspective will help us with global understanding and it counts!!

Well said. Starting to work on your cv early and knowing how to network in an effective manner will be so useful for your future. The process of learning new things in various aspects of life never stops so we shouldn’t limit ourself.

Great Insight and learnings.

If all of these steps have been taken from starting years only, then at the end of the graduation - it will definitely show a great impact.
