The most important thing is being more confident.

In 2025, I want to fully settle into the US after 8 years in Canada and make my career transition successful.

Pivoting to a new industry not only requires expertise and a lot preparation during Job recruiting, but also requires network building in the industry.

Networking can open doors that I cannot reach by myself. By learning from people in different industries, I can get new ideas and fresh ways of thinking. It also helps me find mentors, partners, and job opportunities that support both my finance leadership path and my interest in international trade. And I believe networking can also bring me surprises I cannot expect before.

lack frameworks, structure and details. 缺少章法

Networking can help me get to know more people in my industry and they may tell me the environment of the legal market in U.S.

If I can be friends with those seniors, it would be more possible for me to get a job than applying for positions by myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know how to nurture the relationships in and after the meetings. I often meet a bunch of people, add them on LinkedIn, but that was it. All these connections are meaningless and not helpful for my goal of career switch. I want to change that.

Feeling drained during the networking process (especially when it is pre-established that it's going to be 'Networking')

Most if not all connections made have always been too short term, so the long-term reward is too minimal to keep things going

# data[].attributes.body
My English is not good enough now, because I can not fully understand what my professors said in classes and sometimes in networking events in my school I had a hard time getting others views, which make me feel so embarrassed.

In addition, I think I don't have enough value to exchange with those alumni and seniors, so I always feel confused how to give them a positive impression.

# data[].attributes.body
The hardest part is to start. I’m more introvert, and sometimes networking feels tiring, like I may bother others. I really want to learn how to start in a natural way, in daily life—like at the dog park, events, or any place where I meet people. Not only in formal settings.

Cultivate confidence and a ❗️personalised way of speaking that I know I can own up to ❗️ every time networking is needed / appropriate to take place (bc I think we all must feel like the best versions of ourselves if we want to achieve anything great in any field, if networking were to have its own rules I'd like to know that I'm the best at it)

Growbie can give me a safe space to practice and build confidence to start conversations naturally—whether at work, events, or even at dog park.
