- And the beauty of it is, these days with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. – it is MUCH easier than it used to be to find those people from your past. 04/23/10

- The biggest disservice job seekers do to themselves in networking (on AND off-line) is “keeping my options open” or “being flexible.” Very difficult for your network to help you if they don’t know what you want. “ Oh, I’ll do anything!” Really? Rocket science? Brain surgery? Race car driver? WHAT? WHERE?
- If you don’t have a common history with someone to use as an ice-breaker topic, find something non-controversial that you can discuss. It helps build rapport and is not as threatening as thrusting out your hand and saying, “Hi! My name is Mary Jane Smith, and I’m job hunting.” Also helps facilitate staying in touch since you know something about the person and their interests.

- IOU = I Owe You – I committed to do something, and I will follow through. It’s often very easy to dismiss a group based on your first meeting. None, or few, of the faces look familiar; the situation is unfamiliar and may be uncomfortable at first. It takes at least a couple of meetings before you become a familiar face and have a chance to build rapport with other members of the group. This is one of the reasons volunteering for an organization can be so beneficial. 04/23/10
- TOU = Thinking Of You! Twitter is excellent for facilitating these kinds of connections, but the telephone, email, and face-to-face meetings work very well, too, of course. 04/23/10
- The person who runs the “check in” table meets everyone who attends! And, volunteering for an organization is a great way to learn more about it and the people in it. It may also help you fill in some experience gaps on your resume. Many international organizations have local chapters, so if you are interested in changing locations, the association can be a bridge. One of my favorite organizations is Toastmasters International. Go to the meetings, meet new people, and build a skill that will stand you in good stead during your job search. 04/23/10
