Networking: More Important than Ever

Networking is more important than ever!

Get ahead of applicant tracking systems! Many employers give incentives to their employees to refer candidates. This makes networking more important than ever. Networking has always been the best way to land a job, and job seekers that stand out today are the proactive ones that know how to market themselves on social networks. Your online professional brand is more important than ever.

Now with social distancing, we need creative ways to network. In-person coffee may still not be possible, so take virtual approaches, such as setting up Zoom chats. Attend the virtual events hosted by Eventbrite and Meetup. Join professional groups on LinkedIn or Facebook.

Find other creative ways to put yourself out there. It all about engagement, not just posting articles to share. You need to add value and position yourself as someone who has a voice, someone who is a resource.
