CLEVELAND, OH — Based on the concept of it’s not just who you know but who knows you, getting to after-hours job networking groups have proven to really be effective. Here are some valuable tips to make networking… work for you!
It’s a good idea to have your own business cards made to use at networking events. Note on the back of each card where you met the person and make sure you follow-up! Consider networking as a process you do for the life of your career, not just something to do between jobs. Continue to grow your career by building and maintaining relationships.
Remember that everyone you meet has the potential to lead you to your target. When networking, be prepared and have a polished 30-second “signature statement”. Be authentic. No one likes a know-it-all any more than a wallflower. Be yourself and be real. Above all else, remember your manners. Thank those who help you.
