DAILY CAREER TIP 05/09/2013 – BUILD NETWORK
Networking is actually one area I like to discuss, because I believe many people under-estimate its role in their career. I have personally benefitted from the quality of network I built over time. Relate well with people you meet in the course of your work, keep in touch with old school mates, exchange cards in meetings. From formal to informal gatherings, build relationship, don’t build a wall around yourself. Even the Social Media we often use for fun is actually a good tool for networking. I met a couple of high profile personalities on Facebook and we have taken our relationship beyond Facebook. I have derived benefit from them in serious business and personal matters.
When you have a good network, it works wonder. It aids your activities. You get critical information with just phone call. Networking ability can even get you faster promotion. I know of someone that would have been promoted to partnership in one of the big 4 audit firms in Nigeria, but his rigidity, inability to network, worked against him.
Gradually build a formidable network. It is magic wand.
