If you’re one of thousands of people who are looking for a career change in the face of the pandemic, networking can be particularly challenging, especially when having to cope with the natural anxiety that comes with meeting new people in general.
When attending an event, whether online or in-person, set a goal for yourself. A good example might be “I will talk to at least 5 people I don’t know and get their contact information.” If you are at an online conference, commit to connecting with these people online via LinkedIn and set the same goal of 5 or more people.
When in the act of networking, keep a note about what has been discussed. Networking involves following up, and you’ll be very glad for the written reminders of what you talked about, and which questions to ask. You might consider the people that your people know and are in regular contact with. It’s entirely appropriate to ask the connections you’ve already made about other people. Expressing interest in someone’s business relationship outside of your own isn’t uncommon. It is incredibly helpful to have professionals who are willing to connect you with others, and put in a good word.
When networking is insular, experience and knowledge is so often shared that there are few new lessons to be learned. But, when you endeavor to connect to one or two outside clusters, you transfer knowledge and receive in turn. This is an active, live form of communication and networking rather than a regular business relationship with which you wait around for opportunities to grow.
