Networking. Everyone does it but how do you do it well? 

Many people believe that networking during a job search means calling everyone and asking them for a job. People associate networking with being pushy and overbearing. Some people tend to hide away from networking because they don’t want to be labeled as this type of person. Networking is a two way street, it is a way of getting to know someone better and finding ways they might be able to help you and how you can help them in return.

Not so long ago, most people didn’t have to worry about their online presence or personal brand. Unless you were a celebrity, politician, or prominent CEO or entrepreneur in a public-facing company, doing well in your career involved doing good work and making in-person connections. Applying for a job meant mailing (or physically dropping) off your résumé and cover letter.

Social media changed all that. Learn from Faith LeGendre how you can build a professional online presence that will help you nurture relationships and be reciprocal to opportunities while still maintaining your personal, private life.  

Today’s employees want to be more fluid and agile. They are freelancers in a liquid workforce — even within a large company. They want to innovate freely, move to different projects easily and continue to learn and build their skills. We now see employees asking if it is possible to combine roles or take on a second job within the company. Regardless of work type (traditional, consultant, freelance, etc.), what is constant is that people, with the right skills and capabilities are coming together on teams. Teams will be at the heart of an individual’s success and experience. At the center of that team and the experience — team leaders.

This quote by Woody Allen allows us to conceptualize failure as something that is necessary. Everyone has failed at some point in life. Whether you failed a school exam or failed to reach a goal you set, failure is a part of life.

We have been taught by society to think of failure with a negative connotation. As if failing is somehow the epitome of defeat. This outlook, however, is what will become our defeat.

Although the term "brand" is often associated with business, the two are different. A brand is something you're constantly building because it's the affirmation of who you are and what you love to do. Whether you're a full-time employee, independent freelancer or business owner, your personal brand speaks before you. Being intentional about what you want it to stand for shapes the opportunities you attract. 

But where do you start?

As we know, it’s not the smartest people who are the most successful or the most fulfilled in life. You probably know people who are academically brilliant and yet are socially inept and unsuccessful at work or in their personal relationships. Intellectual ability or your intelligence quotient (IQ) isn’t enough on its own to achieve success in life. Yes, your IQ can help you get into college, but it’s your EQ that will help you manage the stress and emotions when facing your final exams. IQ and EQ exist in tandem and are most effective when they build off one another.

Next to a root canal appointment, few things in life are as nerve inducing as the job interview. In this day and age, the face-to-face interview is typically the first time a prospective employee will speak to an actual person.

They will determine, based on this portion of the hiring process, whether or not the process will continue or come to a screeching halt.

Wow! No wonder you’re nervous. Right?
