Networking is likened to fuel for your career, propelling you forward as you engage with others. But strategic networking goes even further; it involves building meaningful connections and leveraging them effectively – oftentimes before you even begin your job search.
April Little, a renowned executive career coach with over 200,000 followers on LinkedIn, joins LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman to shed light on the difference between strategic networking and the usual approach. They discuss the importance of cultivating genuine and meaningful relationships, rather than simply accumulating contacts. They also explore the concept of relationship mapping: by mapping out your professional network, you can pinpoint key mentors, colleagues, and industry insiders who can provide valuable insights and assistance.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, this episode provides actionable tips to elevate your networking skills and jumpstart your professional journey.
