At the October meeting it was all about networking. Programs Chair Mary Jayne organized a speed networking exercise that was all about encouraging the ladies of TJA to practice networking by getting to know each other. Girls sat around the large board meeting table at the USC Widney Alumni House and proceeded to ask each other questions carefully prepared by our Programs Chair. After three minutes, every other person rotated around the room. Ladies were encouraged to bring and share business cards to help us get to know each other.
Here are some photos and a few top networking tips:
5 Networking Tips
- Ask open-ended questions
- Follow up with contacts by connecting on LinkedIn
- Write thank you notes!
- Remember that networking is a 2-way street. It's about what you can do for those you meet, as much as it is about what they can do for you.
- Pay attention to body language and make eye contact.
