Don't Sell Yourself Short: Build a Strong Personal Network
VIPorbit CEO Mike Muhney wrote a blog post not too long ago about the concept that everyone is in sales. You may sell a product or service to clients or patrons…or you may be selling an idea to upper management. The basic concept is true either way. And whether you’re an intelligence analyst, insurance agent, or interior designer, before you landed that first job, you had to successfully sell yourself!
In today’s fiercely competitive job market, connections and referrals mean more than ever. In fact, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2010-2011 Handbook, the top 10 most effective job search methods are, as follows:
- Personal Contacts
- School Career Planning and Placement Offices
- Employers
- Classified Ads
- Internet Resources
- Professional Associations
- Labor Unions
- State Employment Services
- Federal Government
- Community Agencies
It’s not surprising to us that personal contacts are the most successful way to find and secure a job. For recent graduate with little or no work history, personal contacts are even more valuable.
Don’t wait until you’re looking for a new job to develop your personal network. With consistent relationship management, you can record valuable information from each interaction. When you see a contact, you’ll have the details of past conversations, email exchanges, and meetings at your disposal. These details can help you build the kind of trust that makes people want to do business with you.
Our most recent user review video features a college senior, Morganleigh Battle, who’s using VIPorbit now to ensure her competitive edge when she enters the workforce! Learn how it helps her manage the VIP’s in her different Orbits of influence.
