F. Strategies network and Job Search.

1. Give as much as you get.

When you think, how can this person help me, youll be disappointed. However, when
you are offering help to others, youll find them far more open to the idea of helping you

down the road. Forming relationships built on trust will help you be the person your
contacts think of the next time they can find a way to help you.
2. Be proactive.
Networking doesnt just happen. You need to be active in your efforts and make sure you
get out and meet people. Start by talking to everyone you meet at business meetups, trade
shows, and conferences.
3. Develop your networking strategy.
Prepare your elevator speech explaining who you are and what you do, and practice
enough that you sound like a natural. Schedule at least two or three events a month, and
find groups that you want to join so that you build relationships through the monthly
meetings.
4. Stay positive.
Its easy to let yourself get down and lose self esteem when youve been rejected in the
job hunt, and this can affect everything, including your networking skills. Staying
positive makes you approachable and memorable. Consider each networking event an
opportunity to learn something new or meet someone interesting.

5. Take full advantage of opportunities. With networking opportunities abounding,

make sure you actually attend them. Networking only works if you put yourself out there
and to start talking to people. Let your guard down and be aware of what your body
language communicates.

 6. Dont forget social media. While its true that in-person meetings solidify
relationships, when it comes to networking, many relationships can either start or flourish
through social networking. Use sites like Twitter and Facebook to stay in touch with
people youve met in person, as well as to network with others, such as people who work
at the company youre interested in.

Conclusion
So Networking Is a Highly Effective Ways to review Finding Jobs And Build Relationships
with other people.
