Get your professional connections in order before looking for a new job

If you are not happy with your existing job (for example, it looks like something similar), then it's time to start looking for a new employer. But do you really want to publish your RESUME on classic job sites? If you are an excellent pro, then it is better to try to tell people about your plans to your professional network. But even here it's not so simple — as soon as you dig into LinkedIn or another network you use, you will realize that your network is not too suitable, not too clean, not too adequate.

Get your professional connections in order before looking for a new job

Reasons why your network doesn't work

1. Most of the people in your network are your colleagues from past jobs.

2. You haven't tried and didn't want to meet new people (like this).

3. You have never done anyone a favor or helped anyone. No one owes you anything.

4. Do you remember the emails that you ignored and forgot? Believe me, "they" have not forgotten.

5. No one knows what actually you did at your job and what exactly your positions mean.

How to fix it

The simple answer is : meet people who can help you in the next 6 months, not those from whom you need immediate help. As Wayne Gretzky said, "Run to where the puck will be, not where it is now."

1. Don't drink coffee alone, ever. If you can't meet in the morning, do it at lunch.

2. Meet different people, don't limit yourself to your industry.

3. Reply to all emails that are stuck in your Inbox. Offer your help yourself.

4. Refresh your connections with people you haven't seen for a long time.

5. Be consistent. Do this daily. The fact is that it's a bit tedious, but it's worth every second spent on such networking.
