Networking

I recently went to a networking event that one of my close friends invited me to. Now that I went, I am grateful that he invited me to go. This event unlike many others I went to had many opportunities to get to know others in a more networked way. Before networking on our own throughout the room with other people like us, we were introduced to the system of networking.
Imagine a green land, surrounded with a fence and in the middle it has a big Victorian house. In front of the house is a big rock and on that rock it has a golden plate with the person’s name. Around the fence is running a dog. (Pets)
Now, the house has white Victorian windows, which looking through them one can see a family. (Family)
On top of the house is a chimney. On top of the chimney is a big white glove. On top of the glove is a plane. (Traveling, location, hobbies, etc.)
On the side of the plane are propellers, which are circling around as the plane flies by. (Opportunities, etc.)

With following this simple plan of how to navigate your networking, a person will be able to learn not only more about others in meeting new people, but also about themselves in the process. That way, the individual may expand their circle of friends and relationships as well. By every contact and opportunity you approach yourself to, a thank you letter to the one that brought you along it would be nice. The thank you letter/card can be printed or hand written. Though, when something is hand written, it is more personal and it is meant from the heart.
