The Networking Advent Calendar is a 24-day long training program to build your networking muscles (and your network)! Not sure why you should do this? Missed Day 1? Read more here.
As the holidays approach, it’ll be harder to do synchronous networking (I made this phrase up, basically face-to-face conversations) like virtual coffees, online or in-person events, or mentoring sessions until the new year. But many will probably still check their social media while relaxing at home.
Having seen the insane competition for every position, I firmly believe in being laser-focused in your job search. If you’re looking for a job, I invite you to think of your dream job and dream company, then find 2 people who are currently in those jobs and those companies, and connect with them.
Write a genuine, human, and clear message, and once you’re connected, ask them about how their careers progressed to today. Feel free to schedule a call with them after the holidays (make sure your Calendly link is up-to-date and readily available). And while you wait for that conversation to happen, you can start writing down a list of concrete questions you’d like to ask them.
Are these networking exercises helpful? Any feedback for me? Looking forward to hearing from you!
