Have an interview coming up? When people ask me a question about MyWorkster.com and professional networking in general, it's usually along the lines of "Why should I contact people about my job," or "how is this really going to help me?" I ask them to put themselves in the seat of the person who will doing the interviewing.
Real Life Scenario:
The human resources manager at ABC Incorporated has just completed the interviews of two potential candidates. For all intents and purposes, their skill sets seem equal. The one difference between them is that one of the candidate was referred by someone who already works for the company. Now ask yourself, who do you think will be the one to get the prize?
This is, in essence, the power of networking. Staying in touch with the people and groups that mean the most to you. You never want to miss an opportunity and the best way to hear about them, is through your network of contacts.
Next blog entry will have some fun, but important statistics to remember!
