Hi Mason,

What a great question! One tip I have is that your "network" is probably bigger than you think. Get in the habit of talking to people in your everyday life about what they do, and what your interests are. Networking doesn't always have to be so scary or formal. It's more than likely that someone close to you has some connection to the industry you're interested in. Not every "networking conversation" will lead to a direct outcome, but the more you get curious and talk about the opportunities you're interested in, the closer you'll get to them!
When you scroll LinkedIn, don't hesitate to reach out to Alumni of your school whose roles interest to you. Even if it feels unlikely that they would be able to land you an internship at their company, they may have insights that point you in the direction of a different role, or tips on where to find openings, for example. You don't know what you don't know!
Best of luck in your journey!
