Effective Job Search Networking is Strategic. We at Executive Professional Marketing LLC only use the term “Strategic Networking” when discussing the art of relationship leveraging. The strategy we embrace is comprised of a few core objectives:
1) Determine who to network with
2) Establish the basis of the relationship
3) Find a need they have that you can help with
4) Tell them your plan for finding a job
5) Ask them for something specific that they can take action on, today
6) Show sincere appreciation and gratitude
7) Keep them informed of their contribution to your search
“It is not who you know, it is
who they know.”
“It is an active strategy, not
passive.”
Every successful business starts with a detailed business plan, your search should be treated the same. Take the time to develop a complete plan before you start, or stop, assess your strategy, and re-start effectively.
Remember: make your next-opp your best-opp.
