    How To Take The Nightmare Out Of Networking

    Business / Career Advancement / Job Search / Networking / Personal Brand

    You’ve probably heard about the “hidden” job market. It’s really not some secret place where the jobs are. It’s about the number of jobs that get filled through referrals. And that’s why career professionals talk about networking. Contrary to popular belief, that’s not simply making connections on platforms like LinkedIn, it’s building relationships with people who will think of you when they hear about a job that might interest you. 

    While job boards have their place, spending all your time applying to jobs online isn’t practical. Neither is expecting recruiters to contact you, even if your LinkedIn profile and other social media profiles are compelling. .

    While 65% of recruiters use Linkedin to source candidates, according to the 2021 Jobvite Recruiter Nation Report other platforms have gained popularity. Facebook came in at 68%, Instagram at 46%, and YouTube at 35%. The report also notes that recruiting on TikTok is on the rise.

    The majority of recruiters (53%), however, noted they found the highest quality candidates on LinkedIn. 

    Just remember, recruiters don’t work for you; they work for the employer. They are online looking for candidates to fill specific positions. More precisely, they are looking for a square peg to fit into a square hole. If you are a round peg, you’re out of luck.

    Unlock Opportunities By Putting Your Email Address On LinkedIn

    Business / Career Change / Job Search / LinkedIn

    Want more people to contact you on LinkedIn? Make it EASY for them.

    Many people think that if someone wants to contact them, they’ll simply send an InMail.

    Maybe they will; maybe they won’t.

     

    Relying On InMail

    When I was a recruiter, I spent hours on LinkedIn searching for candidates to fill open positions.

    If I found a candidate who looked like they were perfect for our client’s job, I would send them an InMail and track down their email address just to make sure.

    But, not if they were a “maybe.”

    Successfully Navigate Your Next Networking Event (Even If You Dread Them)

    Business / Job Search / Networking / Personal Brand

    After two years of virtual everything, in-person events are back. I’m headed to 2 holiday networking events this week. It’s the first time I’ll be going to a local industry event in over two years. I’m excited and a bit nervous.

    Most people I talk to say they hate networking events. They feel awkward and uncomfortable. They are tired of boring conversations. And they feel like they never met anyone anyway.

    If that’s you, I’m going to help you change that right now.

    CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE

    Let’s start with attitude. A lot of people don’t like networking because they think of it as transactional. They are going to an event to ask people for help.

    Wrong attitude.

    A better attitude, go to events to meet people, and think about how you can help them.

    While walking into a room of strangers who seem to all be friends isn’t easy for most of us. There are many ways to make it easier, even fun.
