8 Keys to Better Networking

How and where do I network?

There are networking opportunities everyday. The key is to find them and capitalize on them. Suggested avenues include:

  • Conduct social networking at parties, dinners, events, small gatherings, birthdays, volunteer activities, and ceremonies.
  • Keep open and pleasant communication with past employers, being careful to not burn bridges when you leave a company.
  • Join a professional organization or utilize your University’s alumni association. Social events organized through these groups offer an informal setting where you can meet industry veterans and begin a personal relationship with them.
  • Volunteer for committees or events through the associations you are affiliated with or within your local community.
  • Create a newsletter or a blog to help get your name out there. Include stories about what you learned in your job and summarize big tasks or accomplishments.
