Networking With a Twist: Enjoyable & Effective Strategies
Manage episode 387348501 series 3367735
Networking. Just the sound of that word probably makes you feel gross inside.
Does anyone really want to go to a cocktail party where the drinks are overpriced and you're in a room full of people all talking about how wonderful they are?
Or where everyone is trying to talk to “the cool kids” at the top of the social ladder and trying to get a job from them?
Or where people are tossing their resume credits around and dropping so many names you need a broom to sweep all those names up?
Nope!
So that is not how WE are going to do it—and newsflash, that way doesn't work that well anyway.
Instead, we’re going to network in a way that feels organic to you and where you actually enjoy doing it, not detest it.
