I recently spoke with a gentleman who was refered to me by a member of my network. When you engage a new contact have a plan. This person didn’t have a focus or direction to his needs or wants. The interest ranged from financial services to technology. No clear plan or direction. When in a job transition have a plan. Know what you want to accomplish, or at the very least announce that the conversation is an exploration.
Treat your contacts, and those of others as valuable;currency. Don’t misspend a network members valuable time, and resources.
Know what you want. Have a plan for the meeting or call. People want to help, but they can’t help if you don’t know what you want from them. Network members are not counselors or mind readers. Be specific with your needs. People want to know what you want from them.
This will make your conversation more valuable to you, and increase the value the network member places on you.

Job searching its self is a difficult task. Difficult economic conditions compound the situation. We need to pull together and pay it forward. Helping others is helping yourself. How are you helping others find their next new exciting opportunity?
