Networking Skills and Introductions

Did you know that 65-70% of jobs are found through WHO you know?  That proves the old saying It’s not WHAT you know, it really is WHO you know!

I decided to test this theory so I made a list of the 15 jobs I’ve had throughout my career and 13 of them were not acquired through a job advertisement. Mind blown!

This is true with many of my clients too.  I might have helped them rebuild their confidence and write a fantastic resume, and then next thing I know they’ve called me to tell me they got a job through their own network.  I LOVE getting these calls!!!

There are many ways to network – online, through your kids’ school activities, your hairdresser, the footy field…the list goes on and on. 

I know most people do not enjoy networking but I can teach you how to request meetings with strangers that does not put them off. In fact most people are happy to provide advice.  She helps you with the dos and don’ts in your messaging that encourages people to respond to you which will lead to opportunities.

And often Robin can introduce you to people that might help you achieve your career goals.

It’s like taking a Marketing 101 class for YOU.  You learn how to talk about yourself, how to keep the conversation going and how to make a good impression. You got this!
