It’s finally time! With all of us having done a lot of past work in recruitment, we definitely wanted to cover some getting-a-job-related topics. Oh, do we have some experiences to share.  In part 1 of our 4 -part series, we talk about networking, self-promotion, your online presence, and, of course, alllll the effort that goes into it. Phew! 

Key Takeaways:

• It’s called netWORKING, people! You gotta worrrrk. Before you even start putting yourself OUT there, take time to prepare and do the INward looking so you know your message and you can be as confident as possible.
• The long game is worth it! Networking events may not lead to anything immediately and it can be hard to see the value. Sometimes it might be months, or years, before a networking relationship can show results!
• Be conscientious - if you have the opportunity to chat with some accomplished people, don’t monopolize their time. Pay attention and watch for social cues to skedaddle. Last thing you want is to come across as an inadvertent jerk! You can always follow up by sending them a note in the next few days.
