Networking vs.Interviewing: How to Get Better at BOTH

Today, in our private career support group on Facebook I asked our members to tell me which is harder? Networking or interviewing. Turns out, members felt networking is 2X harder than interviewing. The funny thing is, it was a trick question.

Whichever one is harder to you says a lot about your communication style.

I jumped on Facebook live to share how, depending on which one you feel is harder, I can tell you some things about your communication style. [You can watch the video below to see what they are.]

I also shared that the easiest way to get better at both is to build a "strategy" to hack each activity so when it's time to network or interview, you're able to leverage your communication strengths. Think about it: school teaches us all sorts of things EXCEPT how to nurture our career skills. Professional development is a muscle. You must exercise it a little bit every day (hence our name, Work It Daily), if you want to stay at the top of your career game. The good news is, this can be as simple as joining a free career support group on Facebook. The two or three minutes you spend each day reviewing the conversations can help you learn and grow as a professional. And, as I point out in the video, when the time comes that you are ready to take your career to the next level, you'll know exactly where to go for help!
