LunchClub

LunchClub is a networking platform that matches you with other professionals based on your background information and experiences, areas of interest set by you, and your networking goals. Enjoy an easy-to-schedule 45–minute video chat with your match to build connections with interesting and relevant people.

This is a great tool that provides a low-stress environment for you to practice and perfect your networking approaches, including:

• Doing background research on your match to find experiences in common
• Coming up with questions to ask to keep the conversation going
• Learning from the experiences of others to help you in your own career development
• Sharing insights from your own experiences that might be helpful to others
• Practicing your own narratives about yourself and your work, research, and interests
