Networking: What to know
 Networking is a reciprocal relationship. You may be seeking help uncovering
job leads today, but tomorrow someone in your network may be asking for
your help. Never be afraid to ask people in your network for help; don't ask
them to get you a job, but do ask them for possible leads, other people they
know that you might add to your network, and any advice or other
information you seek.
 Always be prepared for networking because the opportunity to meet
someone can happen anywhere in our lives... and the person could change
your life.
 To be fully prepared for networking, always carry networking or business
cards, have a short elevator speech introduction at the ready and keep a copy
of your resume with you just in case a networking encounter leads to deeper
possibilities.
Benefits of Networking
 It helps to grow your pool of resources that you can easily tap into this when
required to do so.
 Its really about WHO you know! Many people find new roles through the
connections they forge.
 Meeting new people opens you up to professional opportunities and potential
clients.
 Developing relationships is good for your mental and physical health and
impacts your overall well-being.
 What you get out of networking and the opportunities youre presented
with depends on your particular mindset.
Thank You!
