Everyone has a network; it’s just a matter of thinking broadly and creatively about who is in it. Social media has opened up countless new ways to network virtually with virtually anyone.
成功建立人际关系网的五个步骤
步骤1. Understand that networking is really just a process of meeting people and having conversations. 这不是销售电话，也不是工作面试.
步骤2. 指示，但不要强迫. 因为您通常是生成此交互的人, 你需要做好引导谈话的准备. 事先对这个人的职业道路有一些问题吗, 他们的组织, 以及他们可能给你的建议. 让对话从这里开始.
步骤3. 要懂得珍惜. You should always respect the time and efforts of the people you interact with. 这意味着如果你打电话没有安排会议的话，要简短, be on time if you do have a scheduled meeting and be attentive at all times.
步骤4. 跟进. 你应该在见到某人后发送后续消息. This can be in the form of an email, a mailed letter or even a connection request on LinkedIn. If the meeting was in a formal setting, the follow up should have the tone of a "thank you" letter.
步骤5. 维持关系. 跟进并不仅仅止于一封电子邮件或领英上的联系. Look for opportunities to reconnect on an occasional-but-ongoing basis in the months and years that follow.

如何使用LinkedIn.com
LinkedIn.com provides the opportunity to stay in touch with your professional connections. 然而, 它的作用远不止于此, other aspects of the site can provide an amazing amount of value to your career exploration or job search activities. 以下是威尼斯人在线对你使用LinkedIn的建议.
- 完成个人资料. Having a fully completed profile will help others view your activities in a positive light. Users with incomplete profiles are less likely to receive communication and less likely to be seen as "legitimate." You can start the process of creating your profile simply by uploading your resume or CV. Thereafter the system will walk you through each step that is necessary to have a complete profile.
- 建立联系. It is fine for you to reach out to your friends on LinkedIn but, you shouldn't stop there. 联络过去的主管, professionals that you meet during an internship or research project and anyone you meet at a Northwest event, 行业讨论会或招聘会.
- 加入组织. There are several large Northwest alumni groups that are obvious for you to join. 事实上, just joining the three largest gives you immediate access to more than 2,000个熊猫连接! 不要止步于那些校友会! 根据你的兴趣搜索小组, 它是否是一个行业, 一个公司, 地理位置或其他. These groups give you the opportunity to interact with a message directly with professionals
- 使用 答案 section. LinkedIn上有一个版块叫做“答案”." This is a space where anyone can pose a question and anyone can provide an answer. 考虑两者兼顾! This is a great place to learn about trends in your field of interest. It's also a great place to contribute to the dialog and demonstrate your knowledge.
- 了解公司. The "Companies" section of LinkedIn can provide some amazing information about companies in your industry. 不知道从哪里开始? 你可以按行业浏览. 一旦你选择了一家公司, 你得到的不仅是那家公司的信息, but other LinkedIn users who are currently or have been part of that company. 你也可以了解新员工, promotions and other internal information that was previously unknowable.
