Gone are the days when you could socialize and meet people over brunch. Although in-person meet-ups are still frowned upon, it is crucial to expand your network for a promising future. Employed or unemployed, working or studying, business or a personal gig, we all know #Networking is key and it cannotbelockeddown. This video brings to you the top 8 tips for successful networking during the pandemic. 00:00:37 ✅ Tip #1 is to build a digital presence - It's possible that networking will be even better during the pandemic than it was previously. Everyone is at home, staring at a communication device: their phone! Create a digital presence for yourself, whether it's on Instagram, LinkedIn, or elsewhere, and start reaching out. 00:00:59 ✅ Tip #2 is to share your skills - Take a hint from the slew of new virtual learning options and share your knowledge. Post images and videos relevant to your expertise on social media platforms. Be open to opinions and suggestions which will help improve your skills. LinkedIn is an excellent platform to showcase your skillset. 00:01:22 ✅ Tip #3 is to Leverage your current network - You have more connections than you realize! Rekindle friendships with people you went to university with and trained with: find out what they've been up to, which will allow you to share what you've been up to. Ad hoc, casual interactions can lead to a plethora of beneficial outcomes. Those contacts may be able to suggest someone who would be interested in your work. However, in order to reap these benefits, you must speak with them. 00:01:22 ✅ Tip #4 is to find online networking opportunities - Online networking events are hosted by industry organizations, college career services departments, and alumni clubs to allow people to meet safely. Join Facebook groups, Slack teams, or LinkedIn groups to connect with like-minded people. Learn new skills and job-search advice, participate in discussions, and, most importantly, add value. Leave thoughtful remarks and share your knowledge. 00:02:28 ✅ Tip #5 is to Participate in Social zooms - Zooms can be used for more than simply meetings. Social Zooms, such as virtual coffee breaks, happy hours, lunchtime sessions, and workout classes, can provide formerly untapped possibilities to meet new and interesting people in a casual setting. Build on these dialogues, interact with them by typing comments into the chat, and keep the topic going even after the Zoom has ended. 00:02:58 ✅ Tip #6 is to Speak With Peers, Reach Out To Old Contacts - Talking to your peers and reconnecting with old contacts via Linkedin, email, or phone can be very helpful. Inquire whether they are aware of any online communities of like-minded people and how they are faring throughout the pandemic. Give before you get by asking if you can help in any way, and people will surprise you with how willing they are to assist you. 00:03:27 ✅ Tip #7 is to join groups and communities - Join online platforms like Clubhouse and Coffee mug, that allow users to follow and interact with people who share common interests and discuss them in real-time. Look for networking groups online, including professionals, alumni, and other relevant groups. Post your queries, concerns, and achievements and get everyone onboard for lively discussions. 00:03:55 ✅ Lastly Tip #8 is to Remember That Growing Your Network Authentically Takes Time - Networking is a lifelong activity. Be patient and to avoid feeling overwhelmed, take smaller steps and reach out to a couple of connections per week. We hope these 8 effective ways to expand your network help you.
