The first thing you have to know about networking is that the folks around you really do want to help you. The vast majority of your colleagues were once in your shoes, and somebody helped them achieve their dreams. Also, never be intimidated by titles. They used to be in the exact same place as you. The folks I met at my internship have been the most helpful people in all of my career advancement. In fact, here’s a picture of me with one of the people I most respect, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Agriculture, Glenn Thompson.
Good luck!
