You know what would be awesome? If I could sit on my couch eating bear claws and watching cartoons while the perfect job just knocked on my front door, that's what. Seriously, how great would that be? Cartoons, doughnuts, couch. Alas, the world is never going to beat down the door with job offers. So I must ignore the seductive lure of the snacks and warm beckoning glow of the television and go find opportunity. Therefore, I must network. Your resume may be perfect, your LinkedIn profile exceptional, your business cards freshly printed, your social media presence amazing, your blog top-notch and your cover letters at the ready. In real estate it is all about location, location, location. In job search it is network, network, network. The relationships you cultivate today will often be the keys to the job you find tomorrow. The power of my network truly hit home this week at a conference where I spent four days catching up with countless friends, colleagues and acquaintances spanning the past two decades as well as forging dozens of new connections. Networking is a long game that requires hard work, persistence and a genuine interest in making connections that matter. Let's find out what the experts have to say about cultivating a network that will bring you both personal and professional rewards. |
