Questions To Ask At A Networking Meeting
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
Much has been written about how to expand your contact network, how to set-up a networking meeting, and how to structure the networking discussion. No matter how strictly you follow the meeting agenda, however, there should be time left for “general conversation.” This is how you will build rapport and learn a great deal from your networking partner. So, what sorts of topics should you focus on, and what kinds of questions should you ask?
In addition to preparing questions to ask your networking partner, be prepared to answer her questions as well. Although a networking meeting is NOT a job interview, the contact may have a future opening in mind at her company or another organization. If this is the case, she may ask you preliminary questions during this networking meeting. So, always be prepared!
You’re Invited – Career Success Seminar – February 27, 2018
Accomplishment Stories – Your Most Powerful Tool to Get the Job Offer
Date: Tuesday, February 27, 2018
Time: 10:00am to 12:30pm
Presenter: Ford R. Myers, President of Career Potential, LLC
Location: Radnor Financial Center, Radnor, PA
Investment: $25.00
Remember a time when you heard a friend or colleague tell a memorable story? You can probably still recall some of the details about that story long after it was shared. Good storytelling creates a vivid picture and a positive response in the listener’s mind. Utilizing stories to enhance your job search is a skill that is often overlooked. Yet, without powerful accomplishment stories to tell prospective employers, you have almost nothing to “sell.” When you can effectively tie your accomplishment stories directly to the employer’s needs and problems, you will dramatically increase your chances of getting a job offer!
Many of us feel that the stories about our work-life are not particularly interesting. Others struggle to come-up with any accomplishment stories at all. This seminar will show you exactly how to identify and develop your own compelling accomplishment stories – stories that will become your most powerful “selling tools.”
Skype® Career Coaching
For many years, we have worked via Skype® with “long distance” clients (or local clients whose circumstances have made it difficult to visit our offices). Our coaching model allows us to work remotely and still provide exceptional levels of connection, quality and impact. We are happy to serve clients from anywhere in the United States and Canada via Skype®.
Here are just some of the benefits of doing career coaching via Skype®:
Time – clients save time by not having to travel to our offices for coaching sessions
Comfort – clients are often more comfortable working from their own homes or offices
Flexibility – clients experience fewer planning conflicts and more flexibility with scheduling
Convenience – clients who travel for work are still able to attend their coaching appointments by using mobile devices from anywhere
Career coaching via Skype® is easy and effective. For more information, please visit: https://careerpotential.com/skype-career-coach/
