Use networking as a tool for both of these  objectives-it's not just for finding a job but also for learning about  industries you're interested in.

 Career CornerStop Talking Business When You're NetworkingI recently attended “The  Introverted Leader” half day workshop with Jennifer Kahnweiler. Jennifer was  impressive. In her book, The Introverted Leader, she interviewed 100  introverted leaders to learn the secrets to their success in a  society/workplace that tends to favor extroverts. She asked them how they built  upon their quiet strength to be successful. To learn more of her tips and  secrets visit her blog.  One  interesting thing I wanted to share from the workshop was about how people connect best on a personal,  not business level. When you are networking, it is best to  use a personal connection as a first step when you network, and then get into  talking shop after the connection has been                          established.
 Here's how it works:                           When you are preparing  for your next networking event, think of some personal things you've done  lately that might be interesting to someone else. Have you seen a great movie,  gone to a new art exhibit, taken a wonderful vacation? Whatever it is, make a  mental note of a few things. Then, strike up a conversation at the event  centered first around some common personal ground you share with the person  you're talking to. Talk shop after that. Remember: Statistics  show that 70% of job seekers landed their jobs through networking! The hidden job market is the best way to  find a job. So prepare in advance for your next networking event. How can you  connect with the people there personally? Get out there and network this week.  Stop talking shop and focus on establishing rapport with people. The great news about  career networking is that the  more you do it, the easier it gets. Scan your local paper  for networking opportunities; association meetings, church groups... I even had  a client attend a football party at a bar for his favorite team. He left there  with the name of a contact who sent him 10 job openings that same night after  the party! Show up at a few of these events where you share a common interest  with others, where you won't feel so pressured. Practice your conversation  skills. Then, when a really big career networking opportunity comes along,  you'll be ready to rock and roll. *Need help with your career transition? Contact us for a  complimentary consultation.*  We are filling spots for our most popular coaching service: Our  next Ideal Career Coaching Group, including unlimited individual  coaching, starts this month. Hear what others  have to say about it here.
