One piece of advice I can offer for the new year is to always recognize that a conversation is an open door to a relationship. Whether you are speaking to a colleague, a manager, an acquaintance or a cold-caller, the conversation can always grow to something more. It is my opinion that every conversation can be a stepping stone to the next move in a career. That said, engage in conversation. Let the other person know that you are involved and interested, because that interest will be remembered.
Focus on these three items to better advertise and market yourself in the new year:
- Build your LinkedIn profile.
- Focus on professionalism in all aspects of life. Actions matter most when no one is looking.
- Distribute your resume. Not just to recruiting firms and website. Send your resume to people in your network. Remember, your best friend may be the ticket to your next job.
