If you master the art of
distributing your business card, there is another way to create links: social
online networks.
Social networking sites help you
build links for business, appointments or personal interests. Specific details
vary but generally work as follows:
• A friend or contact invites you
to join the service. You can also register by visiting the website and
registering.
• Create a profile in which you
describe yourself and your interests.
• Connect to your friend's or
colleague's network and then develop your own network in discussion forums,
blogs, and connections with members with similar interests.
By participating in an invitation
from someone you know with similar interests, you can connect to hundreds of
people in seconds. An easy way to find job opportunities, right?
Avoid these mistakes in social networks
Not surprisingly, the new ways of
getting in touch also include many opportunities for label flaws and violations.
Follow these seven tips to explore the new world of social networking:
Choose your taste
Do not use all offers to join a
social network. Some focus on dating, while others focus on professional
interests. Many mix work and pleasure: in a moment you can marvel at the taste
of the music of a new friend; Next time you realize that she works in the
company of your dreams. But you probably do not want to spend your time making
contacts with music fans over 20 if you're a salesperson in their 50s and not interested
in post-ABBA groups.
Understand the culture and rules of the site:
social networking sites can look
like a high school, with unclear social rules and customs. Before you contact
the friends of your friend who invited you to the site, familiarize yourself
with the culture of the site. An informal e-mail introduction may be sufficient
on one site, but may give the impression that another site is less likely or
worse.
Refine your profile
even social networks dedicated to
workplace entertainment can create business connections. Make sure your profile
does not contain what a potential cook should not see.
This is especially true if you
use a website primarily for business purposes. Potential employers can find
their profile online and make a judgment based on their findings. Remember and
tailor your profiles to what potential employers should see.
Do not be aggressive
Many members of social media
groups have had bad experiences with aggressive types. Be sensitive to people's
networks, not be too aggressive when trying to" penetrate "someone
else's network - a person who is too persistent can be boring and hurt their
own reputation if they try too hard.
Do what you say
Make your promises when offering
a personal presentation, or look for a phone number to protect your reputation.
You have to go on. If you are interested in someone's help, be sure to follow
his help. They are giving up part of their network and their reputation is now
at stake, so to speak.
Prepare for Personal Presentations
The simple fact that your network
is growing online does not mean that relationships remain. Social networking
sites often connect people offline through one-to-one or group meetings.
Remember: For a face-to-face meeting, you must reply without e-mail to write
the message. Know what you expect from a meeting. Some expert recommends a brief introduction to
group events. In this way, the individual does not attack and loses the
opportunity to leave a good impression
Help yourself by helping others:
The network is reciprocal, so do
what you want to do with others. If you can help people, they are more likely
to call you back.
