This document provides tips for networking effectively. It recommends getting to know others by learning about their interests and goals, rather than immediately pitching a connection. It advises treating all people with respect and watching for opportunities to connect with people from different industries and job positions. Networking opportunities can occur in unexpected places, so it's important to think outside the box and look locally for events in your community or industry. Hosting events yourself can help bring people together and make connections while helping others in your network. Modern networking requires using multiple channels like in-person, phone, LinkedIn, and industry-specific websites to engage with audiences across different platforms.

Network
Effectively

2. Don't be the person who is going up to everyone at the
party and trying to pitch them on connecting with you.
Instead, get to the know the other person, learn about
their interests, and goals. When you do this, you create a
connection that will last longer than if you had just
asked them to connect right away. Wait until you've
reached a point in the conversation where it is evident
that the two of you should connect, then offer to
exchange contact information, but not before.
Don’t Be
Aggressive

3. The way you treat anyone is the way you treat
everyone. Not only is it good manners to treat each
person you meet with respect, but you will network
better when you do. The one thing that you don't want
to do is do the wrong thing and miss out on a job
opportunity because someone didn’t look the part of
CEO or hiring manager. For example, if you in school
and you are working at a restaurant, know that you will
be interacting with people from all different job
positions. Watch out for those opportunities to get an
internship or new job when you meet those that are in
your field.
Talk To Everyone
Equally

4. When you network there are industry events that you
should be going to no matter what. It can be a conference
held in your community for individuals in your industry or
an event being hosted by your company. Just know that
networking opportunities aren't always black and white,
the chance to network can come from unexpected places.
Whether it was a festival at the beach, or if it was a local
cookout. Look to your local community for these events.
Even if you are not going for business reasons, you are
getting the chance to make connections.
Think Outside
The Box

5. A quick way to be the life of the party is to host it
yourself. Almost everyone will be more willing to
talk to you if you are the one who brought them
together. When you host an event you aren’t only
helping yourself, but others in your network. You
are bringing people who are in the same field
together to talk and engage with one another.
Think of ways you could throw a bash and what
kind of value it would offer people in your circle.
Be A Host

6. The modern networker needs to be able to reach out to
people in different ways. This doesn't just include in
person, but also over the phone and online. LinkedIn is a
great place to start on the web, but don't limit yourself
to that site alone. Join websites or create profiles on
websites that are in your industry. For example, if you are
a musician, create a SoundCloud account and start
sharing your music. Engage with the audience that you
have, and they will remember that.
Use Multiple
Channels
