I'm terrible at networking, and I feel it is the largest factor holding me back in my career. I have been coding off and on since I was 14, have a bachelors degree in IT, and have a year and a half of tech support experience, yet can't for the life of me get a job that pays over $25k.
Do you have any advice on how to get started networking? What do you feel most people bad at it lack?
- jrs235 9y agoNetworking isn't a one way street or flow. Bob networks in hopes that others will look out for him and tell him about opportunities. But Bob never thinks about helping and sharing opportunities that others in his network might care about. Seek first to understand, then be understood. Seek first to serve, then be served. (And if your network isn't reciprocating opportunities, make sure you haven't networked with only self serving people.)
