Get a job by talking to 100 people in your network rather than applying for 100 jobs.

Network

Job seekers,

LinkedIn is the place to get the desired job and advance a career. It is said and proved correct for pros who network. To get a job, talk to 100 people in your network rather than apply for 100 jobs via job boards,

The network is your asset, and you have to work for it. Today I give you a simple plan of action.

1. Identify the companies you want to work for and the people in your work area.
2. They should be executives in your expertise.
3. Then, send a connection request to them.

Send to a minimum of 100 pros in about 10 companies to start.

Rejections and no responses are normal, so don't worry about it. It's a number game. You will have many new connections. Anything between 30 to 70 percent of connection requests are accepted.

You must do both applying and networking. Don't expect an immediate result. Ninety days is a reasonable time frame. Send a connection request to the pros you think are relevant to your aspired position, and you will have a few connections to initiate an advice talk.

Never ask for job help. Thank you for connecting and asking for advice on the right person to contact and tell your interest in working in the area.

The best way to get a better outcome is to do some academic work. Write one article on LinkedIn Pulse. An evergreen topic is to write about tips on the problem of your subject expertise.

Three ways to …..………

It's not difficult. Writing about 500 – 600 words in your expertise or skill should not be a problem.

If you write an article, then mention it and put a link to your article to a few top executives of these companies. You should try President and HR Head also.

You must have a courteous message asking the right person to send details about your work relevant to the article, and things can move.

Think a president may be interested. They may like your initiative idea and ask for details or refer to someone to contact. It happened. Owners like the approach, experience, opinion, the company you work for, etc.; they talk and create a position.

It is always better to try. The benefit is that you will do some work to solve an industry problem, think seriously about a solution, and contribute. It will help you if not now, later.?

It's now time to start networking.
