    How to Introduce Yourself and Start Networking

    Author: Michael Scaletti Whether you work for a small business, a startup, a multinational corporation, are a contractor, or own your own business, one thing remains consistent. It’s all about who you know. Or maybe, more accurately, who you meet. According to multiple, peer-reviewed studies, simply being in an open network instead of a closed one is the best predictor of career success. This means meeting new people and straying outside your social comfort zone. And this mea

    What to Know Before Starting Your Holiday Networking

    Author: Cheryl Simpson and Jenna Arcand Source: Work It Daily It’s that time of year again, when job seekers think they may as well stop looking for a job throughout the holiday season. No one will be hiring anyway, so you may as well take the rest of the year off, right? Not true, according to HR and job search experts. Although some companies may have no budget left for hiring, others still have openings they need to fill by the end of the fiscal year. That means it’s unwi

    How to Make a Great Digital First Impression

    Author: Elizabeth Webster and Meghan McFee Source: Work For Good A digital profile is the new first impression: Potential employers often see it before they meet you. Your online presence shows a glimpse into your personality. And, more importantly to potential employers, your digital profile offers insights into your accomplishments and – this one’s important – insight into your judgement.

    How to Build and Maintain Your Network

    This is kind of an abstract post, so I’ll ask some questions up front for you to think about as you read over it — what are your best professional networking tips, particularly regarding how to build your network, and then how to maintain a network? Which networks, associations and affiliations have been the most fruitful and the most enjoyable for you? Have you seen a lot of overlap and “lucky coincidences” between your various networks, associations and affiliations? I’ve b

    Is networking important for building your career? The use of networking as a career-building tool is nothing new. It is possible that you may be doing it without even being aware of it. The problem is not in the concept itself but in its execution. Here, in this post, we will try to understand how to do it right.

    A Networking Guide for People Who Hate People

    Effective networking is a skill that every professional should attempt to improve on. Talking with strangers and making quick connections may come easily to some people but prove to be quite difficult for others. Unfortunately, I fall into that ‘other’ category… I will be the first to admit that I have a hard time talking to people when I first meet them. No, I don’t necessarily hate people, it’s just that I would rather sit back and observe the scene first. Although this typ

    Quality Connections from Networking Events

    Whether you’re the outgoing type who’s not afraid to approach anyone or more timid and shy about speaking to people you don’t know, it’s important to set goals with each networking event you attend. By setting goals, you focus on making quality connections rather than coming home with a bunch of business cards for people you may not make contact with again. Networking events vary in size, but regardless of whether it’s 100 attendees or 1,000 attendees, it’s unlikely you’ll ha

    How to Build Relationships That Lead to Dream Jobs

    Most people who network with the end goal of getting hired tell everyone they know that they’re looking for a job. They anxiously ask, “Have you heard of anything?” The usual answer is, “No, but if I hear of something, I’ll contact you.” End of conversation. Dead end. Asking for job opportunities scares away your network When you ask about potential opportunities outright, six bad things happen that make your job search less likely to be successful: You fail to create or deep

    4 Networking Tips From An Introvert Who Launched A Startup

    Networking: the word so many people hate with a passion and something so few people truly excel at. When I first started a business, I hated networking. I was terrified of approaching strangers who were more “important” than me to pitch myself and my business. I soon found out that if I didn’t get over these social hangups, my business would go nowhere. I had to pitch investors, customers and business partners. It took a lot of trial and error, but I finally figured it out. O
