Professional and Career Topics

Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice on how to effectively connect with ASCE members to explore job opportunities and expand my professional network. If you have experience or tips on the best practices for reaching out to fellow members, attending events, or using ASCE resources like Thrive, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey Wajahath! Great question. I think it depends on where you want to grow your network. If you're looking for local contacts, local events are best. You can use https://www.asce.org/communities/find-a-group to find Branches and Sections near you, and they should have some great events to attend! If you're looking for more technical or global members to connect with, I highly recommend considering joining an ASCE committee. The deadline is this weekend so you'd have to be quick! But this has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me. You meet with other members regularly and they connect you with other members in their network. It's a great way to plug into the Society web of experts! Here is a website where you can see the full list of committees: https://www.asce.org/communities/committees
