Recently, the article “The Top Eight Rules of Networking [1]” was shown on the home page of my LinkedIn account. This got me thinking that at some point, everyone needs to network. Some people network for a living, while others need to network for a new career; however, the fundamentals are the same and everyone should know how to network.
I am reposting this article in an effort to spread the word regarding “The Top Eight Rules of Networking”, which are:
- Have a Solid Introduction
- Don’t Confuse People with Your Pitch
- Don’t Tell a Sob Story
- Spend More Time Listening Than Talking
- Avoid Being Socially Inept
- Don’t Overstay Your Welcome
- Hand out Your Business Card, Not Your Resume
- Follow Up and Through
