1. Choose the right moment to make a connection

2. Think about what you can offer

3. Networking isn’t just about your work or research, it’s about building a community – so use other aspects of your life to connect

4. Be specific if you are making a request

5. Think about who you are connecting with – marginalised groups are often left behind
