When you think about networking for your career, are you thinking "Yes!" or "Oh, no!"?

If you are reluctant to network, here are a few strategies to move you forward.

First, understand why you should network?
  • Meet people with shared interests
  • Explore Career / Recareer options
  • Analyze the market
  • Identify trends, emerging fields and industries
  • Learn about company culture
  • Get referred for jobs

Second, understand why you are reluctant?
Which of these reasons stops you from networking?
  • Unsure how to/where to start?
  • Don’t know what to say
  • Shy or embarrassed
  • No time
  • Overwhelming
  • Don’t know anyone
  • Don’t want to beg

Each of these reasons has their own strategy described in the slide deck. (The presentation opens in SlideShare.)

It is nice to have small goals. I mean, of course, setting huge goals is important too, but that is not something that I recommend. When you want to do set a goal, it is better to keep it easy. If you just go and plan a huge goal for yourself, then you will just get disappointed. It is not always true that you will be able to accomplish anything as long as you put your mind and soul into it.
