Networking Your Way to a Great Job (part 1)

Some people call networking a "hidden job market". Perhaps this is due to the fact that it is not like a job fair where finding a great job is the objective of the event. In a networking situation, the goal is to get to know other people and develop mutual relationships that benefit one another. In some cases, it just happens to lead to a great job offer.

The outcome in meeting other people in any given situation can lead you to find a great job whether it is the stated purpose of the meeting or not. Everything depends on what you say and do. Networking your way to a great job is about relationships.



The first thing to realize is that very few people want to meet other people just for fun at networking events. Everyone has an agenda. This isn't a negative, just a statement of fact. Be prepared mentally to recognize this fact and use it to your advantage. Each person is there for a reason. Each person has a purpose in mind.

Everyone wants something or they wouldn't be there.
The way to use this to your advantage is to supply each person you meet with what they are looking for. How are you supposed to figure out what they are after?
