ABC Career Tips
At Morgan Ebbett Career Services we are Career Transition Specialists. This is one of the ABC Career Tips to assist you in developing a new career.
“N” is for Networking Talk with people (not computers) and ask for their advice. Some people will have insider information that will be helpful in making a career leap or may know of a job lead that is not advertised. Here’s the secret to growing your network: Help other people. Make it your goal to help people you meet naturally during your day. Be intentional. Look for ways to help co-workers, neighbours, and people in your circle. The reason this works is the rule of reciprocity, which says that if you help people, they will be favorably inclined to return the favor in the future. By helping others you are making deposits in accounts that you can withdraw from later. (Source unknown)
Career Builder Challenge - Make a list of your network. Contact them on a regular basis. Make the contact genuine. Create a second list of people you would like to add to your network and then find an opportunity to meet them and introduce yourself.
“Be selective when choosing new friends and associates. Is this person someone you want in your life for years? Do you share similar values and interests? Does this person know how to be a friend? Choosing relationships is like buying the correct ingredients for a special meal. You might be an excellent cook and have a great recipe, but if your ingredients are not appropriate, the meal will not turn out. So it is in life. You can have a good recipe for success – high potential and a clear soul’s purpose – but if you choose friends and work associates that do not enhance that purpose, even though they might be wonderful people, you may become distracted from your goal.” Tanis Helliwell, Take Your Soul to Work
