I'm also trying to expand my network to meet as many people as I can in the geographical areas I'm interested in. I've narrowed my search down to two options--Atlanta, GA and New York City. If anyone has any contacts in these areas please let me know! I would like to go into merchandising/line development.
I've also been doing some research on companies, and Carter's in Atlanta has really stood out to me. I've made a contact there who is an alum from VCU, do hopefully she can give me some insight into the company and the department.
I'll keep everyone posted!
