Why is networking important:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

You get your name out there. One of the most important\u00a0<\/span>things about networking is that you can get your name out there to decision makers\u00a0<\/span>that you may not otherwise have the chance to connect with. Networking can cast your career and word of mouth \u201cnet\u201d extremely wide and extremely quick<\/span>–\u00a0<\/span>expediting the process of<\/span>\u00a0what you could likely do on your own.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You have people\u00a0<\/span>on your team. Networking helps grow your advocates and cheerleaders. This is especially important if you are considering becoming a freelancer- the more people that will sing your praises and vouch for you, means the<\/span>\u00a0more people that can help you spread the word about your skills and business.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Develop long-lasting relationships.\u00a0<\/span>As you network<\/span>\u00a0you build relationships with others. You can help\u00a0<\/span>others in their skills, job aspirations and connections, just as they help you. And who knows- one of your connections may just help you land your dream job!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>How to strategically network:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Attend networking events: either in person or online. Put yourself out there! Everyone at the event is there for the same reason,\u00a0<\/span>so you can know that you\u2019re in good company. Show up and speak up- be\u00a0<\/span>genuine<\/span>\u00a0and put your best foot forward in the hopes of establishing long-lasting conne<\/span>ctions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask good questions: one of the most important things about networking is following up on your connections- both to see what they can do for you as well as what you can do for them. Be a good listener and ask pointed questions that will help you help them.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure your digital space reflects your career goals. On your LinkedIn\u00a0<\/span>page, ensure that your contact information, title and past roles are clear and easy to read. List your skills and avoid buzzwords to cle<\/span>arly communicate. Many\u00a0<\/span>times<\/span>\u00a0in networking, your LinkedIn profile will be\u00a0<\/span>shared<\/span>\u00a0and you want to make sure it\u2019s viewable.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
