Hey guys! I know Tuesday isn’t my normal blog posting day,
but since Fall Break starts tomorrow I am switching it for this week. As most
of you have realized (at least I hope you have) a main function of Career
Athletes is providing networking opportunities. Networking whether it is through
this site or in face to face interactions is an important part of establishing
yourself in a career field. As Career Athletes states on their website, “85% of
careers are achieved through professional networking!” Since networking is such
an important tool when looking for jobs you might be asking "How does someone go about
setting up these connections in a professional manner?" Not to worry Career Athletes provides you
with six tips on how to accomplish this. To find these networking tips hover
your mouse over the tab labeled “Get Career Advice” in the left hand home column.
It will expand to show “Career Resource Center”, “Virtual Career Coach”, “Networking”,
“Finding a Job”, and “Using Career Athletes”. Click on “Networking” and a list
of the six steps will appear. These networking tips are geared specifically
toward Career Athletes, but they can also be incorporated into face to face
networking as well. As most people know it isn’t what you know, but rather who
you know. Hopefully these tips will help you improve your networking, and I
hope you all enjoy your Fall Break!
