Networking

We always hear about “networking”.  To many networking can be a scary thing.  Putting yourself out there in a setting where you are not familiar with many individuals.  Here is one strategy to start networking in a more comfortable manner:

• Create a list of personal and professional contacts you feel you can reach out to.
• Create a clear message about your situation, the type of job you want, the skills you have, and a list of some companies you are interested in working for.
• Make phone calls or send emails to the list communicating your message.
