In this episode Gabby Lopez joins the Chat Room to discuss ways to make your networking work for you in all the best ways. Whether you are using social media like Facebook or Linkedin or you are networking in person or live (phone or video), there are some best practices to consider that will make the energy you are putting into networking turn into the results you are looking for.
We discuss how to focus your requests when connecting with others for help and how you should make proactive networking a priority so that you are not just connecting when you need something. An interesting idea that Gabby shares is how to leverage a local volunteer opportunity in your community as a way to add to your network and acquire experiences that could go on your resume as well.
