Reach Out with Personalized Messages

You want to send connection invites to your current, and former colleagues. When sending a networking connection invite, add a note on why you want to connect with them. Remember you want them to know what value you're bringing to them and not just what you can gain from them .


Leverage Informational Interviews

Informational interviews are a gold mine to not only grow your network but also to understand what that company culture is like. Ask for informational interviews with potential hiring managers, colleagues, and recruiters.


By networking intentionally and staying active online, you can expand your opportunities and uncover job leads.
