7 Things Introverts Can do to Turn Networking for a Job from Bad to Good

7 Things Introverts Can Do to Turn Networking for a Job from

Bad to Good

We have to network and build relationships for jobs,

resources and opportunities.

Even with all that the Internet gives us,

people hire people.

Being around people sucks up our energy. We almost go into autopilot to save energy, which means we do avoid networking events or even parties.

We tend to form relationships one-on-one. It helps save energy and allows us to focus, which we do very well.

Don’t despair; there are things you can do to work with your natural

tendencies.

“Schedule yourself to daily get away from the desk and get to know

someone better.”

Tip #1: Expand where you are.

“Use Linked In to locate some of your former workmates.”

Tip #2: Look up former workmates.

“By focusing in on just meeting 2 or 3 people, you will reduce the overwhelm and feel good about going.”

Tip #3: Don’t work the room.

“When you finish speaking to someone, ask for their contact

information and suggest coffee.”

Tip #4: Follow up is not stalking.

“Take the pressure off yourself that you have to get traction with

everyone because it’s not realistic.”

Tip #5: Not everyone is perfect for you.

“Do not make demands until you have spent time nurturing the

relationship.”

Tip #6: Give first.

“Ask a friend to bring a friend of theirs to meet up for coffee.”

Explain to them, you are expanding your circle and you trust their judgment in people.

Tip #7: Ask a friend.

Start with one tip and master that before adding another one. Just realize we don’t all have to do

things the same way.
