In today’s connected world, many of us recognise the importance of networking as an important element of securing that next career move or to attract more clients.
Increasingly, many professionals are now turning to new networks, not just face to face professional associations and Chamber of Commerce events or other face to face networking meetings.
But how do you identify the networks that will be appropriate for you so you don’t spend endless and wasted hours at the computer? How do you get started? And what are the rules of networking online and how are they different to networking face to face?
Next week I am going to be sharing some ideas with the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Enterprise Board Enterprising Women’s Network about how to use social networking to reconnect and nurture their network to support their business goals. Do share the details with women you know who are interested in exploring social networks from LinkedIn to Facebook for business. The details are as follows:
