How do you network? Especially during lockdown?
Hello hello, I’m currently working on a careers advice piece for Ok Mentor, a platform which aims to mentor young females hoping to break into the creative industry.
The article will be focused on how you should be presenting yourself through LinkedIn and how to use LinkedIn, Instagram and other platforms to network. Have you encountered an unusual way of approaching networking? What’s been a proven trick that’s worked always for you? Which platforms are more suited for certain professions?
Now more than ever, the job market is insecure for a lot of young talent. So if you have any advice to help them out, please leave an answer!

- @Jamain Gordon I’ve made two friends alone from webinars and they’re such a great way to learn but also connect to like minded people. Which ones have been your favourite so far?
- Other than social media, I would say webinars. It's another good place to do networking. The-dots have loads of webinars popping up recently, you just need to browse and find the right one for you.
