Networking 
This eBook is all about using personal contacts to support you in your job search
A telephone seminar is also available – join the live class or listen to a recording
Looking for a job can be frustrating, time consuming and disappointing. What makes matters worse is looking alone. Left to your own devices, you can easily lose your momentum, convince yourself that there are no jobs, and worse, give up!
So what can you do?
Involve as many people as you know in your job search. Unbelievably your next job could come from someone you know. This is why networking is so vital to your success.
In this eBook you will:
- Learn how to identify members of your network; and identify how to expand your network.
- Devise a way of keeping a record of your contacts and in keeping them informed.
- Know what to do at a networking event.
- Know how to prepare before your first networking call.
- Learn an easy way to follow up with leads and the importance of keeping in touch with your network after you get a job.
- Find out about other ways to network, especially for introverts.
It’s not just passive reading, lots of activities are included.
We also cover a format for how to prepare a personal commercial, so you can clearly say what you are looking for in a way that makes other people want to help you.
A personal commercial is the 30-45 second response you give when people ask you what you are looking for. It’s your chance to clearly say the help you need. Being specific makes it easier for people to help you.
What you get:
- A downloadable eBook for you to read online: You then only need to print out the pages you need.
- A phone seminar or podcast where the material is brought to life. With the live seminar you can listen to the key points, have a chance to ask questions and listen to what others have to say. Don’t worry if you miss it, all calls are recorded for later access.
