How to Network When You Are Job Searching

Networking is an important part of job search strategy

People feel it's a hard work, you go to a place with strangers, and then go to speak with random people and introduce yourself and it feels contrived and no natural flow. 

Go to the event with the intent to meet one person and learn one new thing

Go with the angel of curiosity, it will take all the excess baggage off and that you have to be your best behaviour because I am trying to see myself as a brand.

When going to a networking event, have the mindset that, the room is full of people and has a lot of experience, skill-sets and I am going to try to find one person who can teach me something new, something different or give me a new way of looking things at something.

Go from the place of learning , that's when the connections will be more natural and more effective

The biggest challenge for people going to networking events is that it feel like a task!
