8 Keys to Better Networking

What is your story?

Treat each networking endeavor as a sales pitch for your story, practice what you want to say and consider in advance answers to questions about your career goals that might arise during a networking opportunity.

When crafting your story consider the following:

  • What are your core values?
  • What kinds of things do you like to do?
  • What are your key talents?

Pull this information together and develop a statement that summarizes your most important values, passions and skills. This becomes the boiler plate or script for networking discussions.
