what is the best ways to find business mentors? esp those who are in a financial position that I aspire to be at

I am an absolute wreck when it comes to showing up in networking events. I often times do not know enough to be curious about the other person and how he/she is doing, and ask questions that will lead the attention back to my agenda of seeking someone established as a mentor. How should I best cold approach someone in networking events that I meet at the first time? How can i be strategic about it F2F, or online when I'm going about LinkedIn? I feel that I am very blinded and without a plan, yet I know that stupid action beats perfect inaction.

What is the best way to form genuine meaningful connections in college with people who will help you advance your professional goals, provide academic and emotional support, and introduce you to new things?

As a 17-year-old senior in high school, making new friends this year has at times been challenging, as I feel like my peers have already found a group they belong to. However, throughout my high school experience I have branched out so much and met so many new people. Part of the reason I am majoring in communications next year is because I love meeting new friends and learning new things through connections with others. Although at times I can get overwhelmed, as beginning new friendships comes with its own set of anxieties. I find myself hoping I do not say the wrong thing and make a bad impression, or rushing to respond on social media in ample time, causing a flowering relationship to become a bit stressful. That said, I am looking for tips on how to reduce these little bursts of social anxiety as I prepare to make multiple new connections next year and continue to strengthen old ones.

How do I go about making connections that will help me in the long run ?

Hi, my name is Joanne and I am a rising college freshman! My question is about how do I go about making connections that will help me in the long run? Do I simply just make friends, or do I specify that my intent is to broaden my network for future purposes? Is this a common consensus amongst everyone else in the growing workforce that we all want to make connections?

I'm seeking to build my network in cybersecurity further. What are some optimal ways to go about accomplishing this?

I recently joined ISACA as a student member and attended my first chapter meeting. I had some great conversations, but didn't necessarily walk away with any new connections. I've attended several virtual webinars over the past couple of months as well, and gained new LinkedIn connections, but nothing in-depth as of yet.

How can I find connections, resources, and experiences to become a biopharmaceutical scientist in research and development?

I have been working to find a career that I truly enjoy and recently I have been increasingly interested in pursuing a career as a biopharmaceutical research and development scientist (with an interdisciplinary background in nanotechnology), but I understand that I will need to gain experience in this field to really comprehend what I will be working with. So I need help finding connections within academic institutions and professionals in this field that will help me experience my potential future career. Any type of help is appreciated! I wish to connect with professionals and learn as much as I can, working hard to gain the experience I need for this career. (Is it possible as a teenager?)
