Network Purposefully Principles
● Focus on a niche market: better to be a big fish in a small pond
● Differentiate yourself from the competition. Be remarkable and memorable
● Distinguish yourself as the first choice, go-to expert
● Structure your written and oral presentations emphasizing most relevant and appreciated skills, knowledge, talent, and accomplishments
● Promote your credentials at the right time to the appropriate contact (recognizes need, not threatened, has hiring authority or can recommend you to decision makers)
● Don’t rely on getting a response. Always follow up. Use polite persistent pings to stay top of mind
