“I've never done anything with LinkedIn. Because I think as many people, I had the belief that like LinkedIn is just where you paste your resume. You say I'm humbled to announce my new job, things like that. But I was like, No, there's got to be something more to it.” – Marina Krivonossova
“Networking is huge here. And I mean, currently the company for whom I work, we organize, you know, a few annual conferences, we always place a huge emphasis on networking and the networking opportunities we offer. And we know our clients are extremely keen on that, they want to meet other people in their industry in similar industries, just in other industries, and networking is a huge thing for them.” – Marina Krivonossova
“You should really just push past the initial awkwardness of starting to post and start posting about what you're interested in, I would really say that you don't even have to pick a specific field of interest at the beginning, you should just start posting and see what feels comfortable.” – Marina Krivonossova
