How to Make Networking Work for You
A Comprehensive Guide to Effective Career Networking
Networking often puzzles job seekers, leading to doubts about its effectiveness. At its core, networking is about cultivating relationships that benefit both parties. Though it requires practice and finesse, effective networking can be an essential part of your job search.
Here are some tips to help you build a network that truly works:
Be Patient
Networking is a gradual process, not a quick task to tick off your list. While people may want to help, they might not do so immediately. If someone agrees to meet but can't do so right away, graciously accept their timeline. Always be open to meeting new people, as every opportunity can lead to valuable connections.
Be Authentic and Kind
When meeting someone, show genuine interest in their life, not just the help they might offer. Avoid taking advantage of people for their resources only to discard the relationship. Networking is about fostering trust and sharing over time.
Consider that you might one day need support from others, so always be respectful. Regularly reconnect with your contacts, showing that you care about their lives. Let them know how their advice has benefited you, which reinforces their value and encourages continued support.
Be a Connector
Networking thrives on growth. Continuously add to your list of contacts and become a connector yourself. Open your network to others and introduce people who could benefit from knowing each other. This keeps the cycle of networking active.
Be an Educator
Not everyone understands networking. Some may think passing your resume to HR is sufficient. While well-intentioned, this approach might not help. HR typically acts only when a job matches your skills. Instead, ask your contacts to introduce you to someone in their company. This way, you can learn about the company and build a relationship, rather than being just another resume in a stack.
Be Generous
Networking is about reciprocity. Always aim to give more than you receive. Share valuable information with your network, whether it's about a company, industry, or educational opportunities. By helping others, you increase the likelihood that they will help you in return.
Whether you're job-seeking or employed, networking should be an ongoing effort. If you focus on helping your network achieve their goals, they'll be more inclined to support you when needed.
By embracing these principles, you can build a robust and effective network that enhances your career and opens doors to new opportunities.
