1 Assess Needs

Before reaching out to your contacts, take a moment to reflect on what you're looking for in your next role. Consider the type of company culture, job responsibilities, and industries that interest you. This self-assessment will not only help you target your job search effectively but also allow you to communicate your needs clearly to your network. Remember, the more precise you are about what you're seeking, the easier it will be for your contacts to think of opportunities that match your criteria.

Assessing your needs before reaching out to your network is crucial for a targeted job search. By clarifying what you want, you make it easier for your contacts to assist you effectively. For instance, before diving into my job hunt, I took a moment to reflect on my ideal work environment, tasks, and industries. This allowed me to communicate my needs clearly when contacting my network. As a result, they could immediately pinpoint relevant opportunities, streamlining my search and fostering deeper connections based on shared goals.

2 Update Resume

Ensure your resume is up-to-date with your most recent job experiences, skills, and accomplishments. This step is crucial because you'll need to share your resume with your network as they assist you in finding new job prospects. Tailoring your resume to highlight the skills most relevant to the positions you're interested in will make it easier for your contacts to recommend you for the right roles.

Se colocar a servi?o é o melhor caminho para sair de situa??es de desafios pessoais extremos. Entrar em um grupo de networking solicitando apoio ou desejando exclusivamente uma conex?o que poderá te apresentar uma oportunidade de emprego ou negócio, é o pior caminho a ser escolhido. N?o seja a pessoa interesseira de um círculo social. Dedique-se em ser a pessoa interessante e surpreenda-se com os resultados que vir?o. Permita que as pessoas conhe?am suas habilidades naturalmente, fomente situa??es em que seus talentos podem ser colocados a servi?o de forma voluntária. Dê a você mesmo a oportunidade de que outras pessoas conhe?am suas capacidades para que você possa se destacar por ser alguém capaz de colaborar e agregar.

3 Engage Contacts

Now it's time to actively engage with your network . Reach out to former colleagues, mentors, and industry connections. Let them know about your situation and the kind of opportunities you're looking for. Be specific in your request for help and express your appreciation for their time and assistance. Personalized messages work best, so avoid sending out generic pleas for help.

4 Utilize LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a powerful tool for job seekers. Update your profile to reflect your current job-seeking status and make sure it showcases your skills and experiences. Use LinkedIn to reconnect with your professional contacts and join industry-specific groups where you can participate in discussions and meet new people who might help you discover unadvertised job openings.

I once landed a job at Expedia by contacting a manager of my specialty through LinkedIn messaging. I did not ask for a job. I told them I was coming to vacation in the area and could I just meet and network with someone over coffee. They said yes. I showed up (with my resume of course.) They said the coffee meetup counted as my first phone screen. I ultimately got the job!

5 Attend Events

Attending industry events, workshops, and seminars is an excellent way to meet new people and learn about job openings. These events often attract professionals who are well-connected in your field and may know of companies looking for someone with your expertise. Make sure to prepare an elevator pitch that succinctly describes what you're looking for and what you can offer to a potential employer.

6 Offer Help

Networking is a two-way street. Offer your help to others in your network when they need it. By being generous with your own knowledge and resources, you create goodwill within your professional community. This generosity often comes back around when you're in need of assistance, as people are more inclined to help those who have helped them in the past.
