Networking

Networking is the key to many things - including your job security. Face it, jobs come and go. Do you trust a company to give you job security? You need to create your own, and you can start right now by enhancing your relationships with others.

For newbies, begin by just putting your network contacts into Career Navigator. That is a great start as you can begin to see how many people you have developed relationships with. You can categorize these contacts, put tags (or labels) on these people, and track who referred you to each contact.

But then you need to go a step further - work on those relationships. Career Navigator allows you to track the relationship with each person, log important information about your contacts, and manage the relationship as it is enhanced. Keeping track of these relationships, and proactively working on your network may be the most important thing you do to help you land your next job.

In addition to all of these features, Career Navigator allows you to view your network graphically. This gives you an at-a-glance view of how broad and deep it is. New networking tools are coming out regularly, based on advice from authors and other networking experts. This type of tool had been customized to sales professionals, but now it is available to you through Career Navigator!

You don't need to be in a job search right now to use this system - sign up right now and begin to build job security in a way that you can't with your spiral notebook!
