Building Connections 2014: A Networker's Guide To Personal, Business, and Career Growth In The Social Media Age
About this ebook
networking a bit of a drag for you? Do you want to use networking as a
competitive advantage? Want to know how to build relationships and
connections to grow your career, leads, client base, and business
opportunities?
Networking
isn't always easy, especially when you'd rather be home browsing the
Internet than be out schmoozing strangers. Even when you're a people
person, you probably can't afford to squeeze in the time to make several
phone calls a week or go to regular networking events. Networking might
not even land you a job right away because you still have to set things
in motion, get people to talk about you, or try to influence HR staff
to create a position for you.
The
good news is that, in this day and age, networking doesn't have to mean
face-to-face interactions and in-person meetings, because communication
can be mediated by technology. And the connections you build can be
just as well-entrenched as those you create in the offline world.
There's even better news: in his latest book, "Building Connections 2014,"
Dominic Wolff shows you how to combine business and online-based
networking to develop a strong base of employment opportunities,
strengthen future career goals, and expand social circles.
