#Networking doesn’t have to feel calculated or strategic. ?? It can be an opportunity to form genuine #connections that lead to #career advancement! Here are five tips to help you #network effectively the next time you're in a room of potential new connections! 1 - Network with intention What is your purpose for networking? Having a purpose can help you authentically connect with others. 2 - Practice your career statement Practice two versions of your answer to "What do you do?": A 1-sentence version, and a 1-minute version. 3- Exchange information early Networking means growing your network. The first step to doing this is exchanging contact information. 4- Ask questions! Not sure what to talk about? Try asking someone about their experiences or insight. 5- Follow up Make a plan to follow up with your new connections within 72 hours. It can be as simple as extending an invitation for a virtual coffee chat or an in-person meetup.
