Career Tips Setting Networking Goals
Much of career networking is about goal setting and contacting people who you know. Networking is about numbers, the more people who know you are available the better. In a sense it's about who knows you...not who you know!
Set Networking Goals
The numbers game does matter in networking. The more people you contact the better. Set weekly goals for yourself like:
This week I will post my resume to 15 job boards and will respond to 50 job openings.
This week I will call 10 Head Hunters that I know and will call 10 HR managers from companies I want to work with.
Keep track and Follow-up -
A key to good career marketing is keeping track of all contacts you make. You can track the information in a contact manager that comes bundled with most computers or use index cards or plain old paper and pencil. Keep track of whom you called or which headhunters called you, their contact numbers, whether you sent a resume, what you talked about, and whether you got new leads. Don't be afraid to send thank you notes to people who helped you out. It's just another way to keep them thinking about you.This career tip is brought to you by:
