A Few Helpful Hints To Consider !!

1. Any chance at networking now may be helpful in the future.
2. Stay in touch with people you like and respect even if they cannot help you immediately.
3. One mistake commonly made by the eager job seeker is being pushy or instantly making the other person feel like nothing more than business contact. Instead , we need to focus building a relationship. Once people begin to know you they will be open to helping you, if they can.
4. Do not be afraid to strike up with conversation with strangers. Talk to a wide range of people everywhere you go. You may meet someone who helps you get an interview at a cocktail party, plane ride, wedding , or even a sporting event.
5. Learn to ask "what do you do?" with comfort, sincerity, and interest.
6. Become a better listener. Ask a question and be quiet until you hear the answer.
7. Practice saying "How can I help you?" Networking is a give and take activity.
8. Pay attention to your body language. Don't slouch or lose eye contact.
9. Do not forget thank you you letters and e-mails acknowledging time spent together. They show sincerity and also keep you in their mind.

Networking should be taking place every day !!
