MAKING THE RIGHT CONTACTS

-

Not everyone you meet who’s in your field or industry will be a good person to network with. Here’s what you need to look out for to ensure you make worthwhile connection­s. A good networking contact will:

〉〉 Be willing to offer help and advice.

〉〉 Be interested in you as well as talking about themselves.

〉〉 Be someone who thinks long term and not just about what is going on now.

〉〉 Be credible and able to demonstrat­e their skills.
