Hey! Whenever I first start in a team I try to get one on one time with everyone to get to know them individually. I also make sure to put in coffee catch ups with previous line managers or anyone that I really connected to to stay in touch once I’ve moved teams.

Showing interest and a willingness to learn is a great way to start out in a new industry too! It’s important to always ask questions to learn more about the industry and also stay in touch with the connections you’re making as you go along :)

I think one of the best ways you can do this is to get involved in any events going on in that area. You build connections this way, while building your knowledge on that business area too

You can start by having a quick introduction via email or in person, and set up a quick catch up letting them know your enthusiasm for the industry. Also read up about what is going on in the industry so you can have something interesting to speak about and discuss. Try and find out about how they got to their position.
