6. Network like your next opportunity depends on it.
There are different ways to network, and you shouldn’t limit yourself to people who are already in senior positions.
You can network upwards with founders, executives, managers and industry leaders.
But my personal favourite is networking sideways: building relationships with people at your level or slightly ahead of you.
These are people growing in the same industry, attending the same events, applying for similar opportunities and building their careers. As they progress, they may refer you, share vacancies, recommend you for opportunities or introduce you to people in their networks.
Now, when networking, don’t limit your connections to recruiters and hiring managers.
Connect with other professionals in your industry. Connect with people doing the kind of work you want to do. Join industry communities, participate in conversations, attend webinars and professional events.
Build genuine professional relationships, don’t make every conversation about asking for a job or requesting a referral.
Get to know people. Learn what they’re working on. Share useful information. Offer help when you can.
Your network shouldn’t only consist of people you need something from.
Sometimes, the person who shares your next opportunity isn’t a recruiter. It’s someone doing the same job as you.
@marshallpress0n@networkingking0 Engage with them on their socials, offline events and communities they're likely in. It takes time, but the effort counts.
@chuksjonia You realize it's the men who set the example, right?
If men treated their wives (women in general) properly, we wouldn't have so called feminism.
If anything, it's the good men in our lives who encourage us to go to the workplace and make something of ourselves.
