Career Corner Online Career Networking How to Get Noticed, Be Remembered, and Singled Out for Your New Job Interested in doing some online career networking? This is a great idea. In addition to in-person networking events, the web is the perfect place to meet professionals who are searching for your brand of talent. If youre nervous, dont be. In the next several Career Corner posts are some tips to help you make the most of your online networking effort. Tip #1: Participate on a regular basis. Many of my career coaching clients say that they benefit the most from the online networking groups where they put forth the biggest effort. Makes perfect sense! But I think some of us get impatient and if we don’t get immediate results, we give up. Be persistent and realize this may take a little time but it’s worth it. You never know who you will meet or who’s eye you will catch online. This means, log in on a regular basis (once a week or more), take the time to craft thoughtful responses, and ask lots of questions. Asking questions not only helps to broaden your own knowledge, but it gives others the opportunity to share what they know. Your curiosity and genuine interest in others will help you to be remembered later. Good luck trying out this new useful career tool! Career Tips
