Networking - exercise part 2
Once you have completed this exercise ask yourself the following questions:
Who, that I already know, might help me with my career idea and plans?
Who, that I already know, might know somebody else who might be able to help me?
Who would it be useful to get to know? And, who, on my diagram is closest to those people and most likely to know them?
The minimum you should do is to make sure everybody in your network knows what you are doing or trying to do. Only if they know this, will they be able to choose to help you. If, for example, somebody knows a really useful contact in a type of work that interests you, they can only tell you once they know about your plans. Make use of your network.
