NETWORKING FOR YOU FUTURE WITH REAL ESTATE EVERGREEN COLORADO
The economy and the job market are tough and unfriendly. Companies are reporting hundreds or even thousands of applications for each job opening. Highly qualified applicants are routinely turned away or not called for interviews if they have the slightest blemish on their resume. If they are 45 years or older, if they were making 70k or more, if their skills are not perfect or need a little updating, or if, or if, or if…they are summarily rejected. It is a difficult time and it is hard not to get discouraged and depressed.
You feel you did everything right: you went to college or learned your profession, you worked hard for the company, you contributed to it’s success, you went the extra mile and now you are “unemployed” and your entire life and all you worked for is in jeopardy. The normal channels for finding a job are not working. What to do?
The answer is to start networking. We are living in the age of communication and there are several basic tools at your disposal. Begin by making a list of everyone you ever knew all the way back to childhood. Contact everyone at your church, any organization you can get an E-mail list for, all your relatives, mention your job search to the kids parents when you see them. Ferret out their phone numbers or their E-mail. Get on facebook and learn how to contact everyone on your list. Sign up on Twitter and again learn how to maneuver on the site and search for every business contact you ever made. Visit with them, reestablish you relationship or contact and ask for their help in your job search. You must become a sales person and sell yourself to everyone.
Buy a copy of Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. Prepare a script for talking to people that gently moves the conversation towards your job search. When you have drafted a script you can control the conversation because you know where it is going. Practice the script with you spouse or a friend. Role-play until it becomes natural. Keep the faith, have a good time with it, make new friends and rekindle old friendships, don’t be embarrassed; it’s not as hard as you think.
