One of the best ways to achieve long-term success is by thoughtfully and constantly networking. Here are the best ways to make it flow organically:
I’m sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but there is no a magic pill that will instantly help you obtain a new job or advance in your career. One of the best ways to achieve long-term success is by intelligently, thoughtfully and constantly networking.
Before you ask for anyone’s assistance, you must first start building your network by helping others without requiring anything in return. If there is a junior person on your team, offer mentoring. If you work with an experienced professional who is not up-to-date with some new technologies, provide unsolicited tutoring. If a co-worker is struggling, stay late to help him or her meet the next deadline.
Start by looking for the rising stars in your office. We all notice these fast-track people. They seem to be headed for bigger and better things right out of the gate. These fortunate folks possess charisma, smarts and the drive to succeed. Instead of being jealous of their brilliance , hitch your wagon to their growth trajectories. Don’t be intimidated and join their groups. As these fast-track professionals rapidly progress in their careers, you can go along for the ride.
Don't fall into the cliched “I hate my boss” routine. Get to really know your manager. Understand what makes him or her tick and try to help your boss succeed. He or she could turn into a wonderful mentor, in addition to your boss. A manager can serve as a reference throughout your career. When they rise within the organization, he or she may think of you for larger jobs.
