    DescriptionThis article features an interview with Elisha Horrocks, Marketing Lecturer at the University of Northampton, founder of Cult Marketing, and host of The Marketing Meetup events, providing practical advice for students on effective networking. It emphasises that networking begins from the first day on campus, not just at formal industry events. The article highlights the importance of active listening, two-way conversations, and building relationships over time, rather than solely focusing on immediate career gains. It also encourages students to leverage social media and create their own networking opportunities through campus events and virtual platforms. The advice is presented in a conversational, direct, and empathetic tone, aimed at empowering students to build confidence and develop valuable professional networks.
