To-be Job Questers! Best Build Networks During Holiday Season
According to Brett Woodard, director of the Career Development Center at Saint Joseph's University, while students look forward to the holidays as a chance to unwind, 'tis the season to "network before they need work".
He also asserted that students should use this time purposefully to 'plant seeds' for their career search by deepening existing relationships as well.
Woodard has recommended to look for opportunities to strike up conversations at holiday social functions and consider whether personal contacts (perhaps a family friend) can bring you as a guest to professional associations or company parties.
"Seize the opportunity to introduce yourself and engage others by asking about their career," he said.
"Share a little about your own career goals, and watch your network multiply before your eyes."
While students should not expect an immediate internship offer or job lead, but they are indeed laying the groundwork and establishing rapport.
Next, the student can send a brief 'thank you' note or email to express how much they enjoyed meeting them and then continue to nurture these relationships by staying in touch in the new year.
This season of giving is a good time to remember that networking is not a one-way street, Woodard notes.
"It can be as simple as taking the lead on referring one person to another, sharing an interesting article, or forwarding a job opportunity."
"A reciprocal approach will engender generosity as you cultivate a network of professionals who understand your goals, recognize your commitment to your career search, and become excited and invested in supporting you," he added.
