If you are unemployed while attending a networking event, be prepared to discuss volunteer work you do and promote your skills.

Avoid handing out résumés and directly asking for interviews.


Elrie Chrite

b. Networking Opportunities are Everywhere

Networking is not just about meeting with people within your industry.

You already have a network of fellow classmates, professors, co-workers, neighbors, friends, past customers, etc.


Courtney Bergk

Tax Operations

San Dimas, CA


Interact with people you don’t know in various places.

The person you meet may not be a useful connection but they may know someone who is.

Always keep a business card on you; you never know when you will need it.


Courtney Bergk

Tax Operations

San Dimas, CA


c. Tips/Etiquette

Networking requires maintenance: don’t just make one big effort when you need a job.

If you get someone’s business card, use it. If you say you are going to call, be sure to call.


Juan Benitez

a.

LinkedIn.com is consistently named as one of the hottest sites for networking.

According to LinkedIn.com: “There were nearly two billion people searches on LinkedIn in 2010.”


Christina King


Newtown, PA

“LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with over 100 million members and growing rapidly. Your LinkedIn profile is discoverable through the millions of searches on search engines and on LinkedIn. You are in complete control over what others see on your profile, so leverage this to showcase your skills and talents so the right people and opportunities find you.” (LinkedIn.com).


LinkedIn Features:

Christina King


Newtown, PA



2. Public Profile: This is the profile that those who are searching for you via search

engine (i.e. Google) will view.


Christina King


Newtown, PA



3. Status: Should be used to share professional updates.

4. Photo: Allows colleagues, classmates, and other users who have met you to quickly and easily identify you.

Christina King


Newtown, PA

Tips For Effectively Utilizing LinkedIn:

Do not attempt to connect with a LinkedIn user that you share absolutely no connection with. Do make contact with people your current connections know via the Introductions tool.

Create an informative profile headline.

Be sure that your Summary Statement is upbeat, informative, clear, and concise.

Be sure that your Specialties section includes keywords.

Show off your high GPA and any honors or awards.

Set your LinkedIn profile to “public” and create a unique URL, for example: www.linkedin.com/in/yourname.

Maintain current recommendations.

Post a video of yourself speaking or presenting. Add work samples to your LinkedIn profile. Upload your résumé.

Update/ “spiff up” your profile every six to nine months.

If you can provide valid, useful feedback, reply to other user’s questions via the Answers page in the More section.

Update your status at least once a week, but be sure to only post professional, relevant updates.

Join LinkedIn groups and display your connections with LinkedIn Group badges.

IV. Online Networking Etiquette:“Netiquette”

Why is proper netiquette so critical?

“Job Seekers should always remember that during face to face interaction with Recruiters, body language,

eye contact and non-verbal communication reinforces good manners. However, when networking online, and applying to online job adverts, these factors are absent and success is solely reliant on the way in which you conduct yourself online.” (“Top Etiquette Tips for Online Job Seekers”).
