5 WAYS TO GROW YOURPROFESSIONAL NETWORK
1. Connect with Family and Friends
Although you may be hesitant to share your job search news with friends and family, they can be your most trusted source to finding legitimate contacts.
2. Attend Networking Events
Sure, you might consider them snooze-worthy, but networking events are designed to get you in front of industry leaders and help facilitate introducing yourself to key players to make a lasting connection. You may very well meet
a potential hiring manager—or even find your next mentor—at one of these events as well.
3. Get Schooled
If you’re looking to break into a new industry—and score some new skills, too—try taking some classes. You can try to find some courses at your local
college or even online, too.
4. Get Social
If you thought your social media profiles were just to be, well, social, think again. Be socially—and professionally—responsible by cleaning up your Facebook,
Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Google+ profiles.
5. Reach out to Former Colleagues
If you left your previous position on good terms, you should reach out to your former boss and colleagues to see if they can offer a reference. Let them know of your job search success to date and ask if they can recommend
anyone in your chosen career field to speak with.
