Education, resume, experience, luck and a bit of networking makes all the difference
25th August ,2007
Having a network always helps you in many ways. Searching for job is one of them. Read this article to understand how networking can help you build your career and help you get to your dream job.
6. Online Career Networking
Online job searching networking does work. Sites like LinkedIn, MyWorkster and a variety of other online career networking websites can help you get in touch with other networkers at specific companies, with college affiliations or in a certain geographic area. In addition, if you're a college graduate, your institute may have an alumni career network you can access.
When networking with people you don't know, make sure that you know what you want. Are you looking for company information? Do you want to know about job opportunities? Be specific in what you ask for.
7. Networking Events
Networking in person works too. If you belong to a professional association, attend a meeting or a mixer. You'll find that many of the participants have the same goals you do and will be glad to exchange business cards. If your college alma mater holds alumni networking events (many schools hold them at locations across the country) be sure to attend.
