Read my tips for young urban professionals! Carrie Bradshaw wasn’t the only person who could live a fabulous life in the city! City living presents so many wonderful opportunities. As a young urban professional, you have culture at your fingertips. What modern, professional woman does not want to know about the newest restaurant, the latest fashion or nightlife trend?
Utilize the internet to help you navigate. Many cities have launched their own sites just for the purpose of giving information about metro-entertainment. Young urban professionals can also use Meetup.com to connect with people who have similar interests. You may be an active person who loves to be entertained. Livingsocial.com is another great resource that gives deals on spa’s, local trips, vacations, you name it and you will probably find it there.
For recent graduates in metro areas, take in your location. Get yourself circulating at different events. You never know who will be at the newest art gallery crawl or neighborhood lecture. Opportunities can be just around the block from where you are! Use events to network. The more you circulate your name, the more you build networks, and have more connections. This is a really great time to be a young urban professional!
