Two Networking Mistakes People Make & How to Fix Them

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter

In this video, I discuss two mistakes people make and how to correct them if you’ve made them.

The Missing Ingredient in Your Interviews (Branding, Resumes, Networking)

This is one of my daily

videos about job search and I hope help you now when people job they know they need to network

everyone knows that but they make two regular mistakes when they never the first one is they

contact their network too early like all the people that they know really well will they

aren’t clear about what it is they really want and everything one a lot for as a result i’m

gonna say they’d blow that alone but yeah they waste an opportunity by being precise it’s like

safe i’m looking for a job what kind of job you looking for i would a great job where i know you

have to be specific in order the guide people who may not necessarily know exactly what you do and

give them a clearer idea of what you need from them the second mistake that people that make is

they never ask they never ask for help they never asked for advice they never reached out yeah the

second one is obviously the easiest one thing i start asking for advice and help start asking

for support asking for advice as native people can introduce you to others at firms that you’d

like to work for for informational interviews there’s a lot that you can do in order to ask

for support with the first one you have to take a little time it’s why often coaches like people

and will suggest the people don’t work out take a couple of days think about what you really want

to need don’t contact people when they’re angry at your boss or feeling hurt by being laid off

take a little time and think about what you want and once you can use from people before reaching

out like i said easily correctable mistakes but often people never do them so i just want to make

sure was on the radar so this resonates for you, you can fix this
