Best Of The Blog – Networking

I’m going to take some time this week. To share what readers have found to be the most interesting posts. I’m also going to enjoy a few days off with my family. But wanted to stay in touch with you while I am away . . .

So here’s the schedule for the week:

Monday – Networking

Tuesday – The Psychology of Job Search

Wednesday – Successful Interviewing

Thursday – New Resume Ideas

Friday – Job Search Strategy

Today’s post is about networking. And below are the posts that you should read if you haven’t already . . .

First, a two-part post that I wrote based on a presentation I gave to a local executive networking group in Southern California. It includes the top 20 things “to do” and “to be” as a great networker.

The 20 Habits of Highly Effective Networkers – Part 1

Part 2 – The 20 Habits Of Highly Effective Networkers

Second, if you are new to networking events or are not comfortable approaching a stranger, this next post is perfect for you. And maybe a great one to share with your local network. Print it and take it with you!

How To Start, Maintain And End A Conversation With A Stranger

Third, here’s a post that talks about how to be open with your network about what you need. In short, if you don’t tell people that you need help, you won’t get it. Stop being proud and ask your network to support you. It’s OK.

And finally, the one I get the most comments about at events I attend. This post helps people see how the old ways of networking can get you into trouble . . .
