If you\u2019re a veteran you need to know that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interviewsuccessformula.com\/job-search-advice\/how-to-build-a-substantive-network-effectively.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">networking<\/a> will play a big part in your job search, and could make all the difference in the world as to how soon you land a job. For this to work for you it has to be done right, otherwise it could easily backfire and be detrimental to your career in some ways.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that veterans are at an advantage to some extent, since most Americans are eager to help as a way of showing their appreciation. Veterans and all job seekers for that matter need to make a concerted effort to connect with others and network in ways that are known to be effective. Here are a few tips to get you going in the right direction:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Define Yourself &amp; Your Goal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having a clear picture of yourself and knowing what you\u2019re trying to achieve is the first order of business. Think about your qualifications, what you know you\u2019re capable of doing, what you\u2019re interested in and where you want to go with this. When you can define this for yourself, you next task is to devise an effective 30-second elevator pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Be able to express your goal in a clear and concise manner so that it can easily be understood. This is how you will define yourself, your skills and background so that you can be ready when you run into the right people to highlight your qualifications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compile All Your Contacts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take the time to compile and organize all your contacts, both personal and professional. You will probably be surprised by how many you have once you\u2019ve got them all in one place. You\u2019ve got to assume that among all your contacts there might be one or more that could open some doors for you. It may be that an opportunity comes from someone you hardly know, so don\u2019t take this task lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got your contacts all organized, evaluate each of them according to what and whom they likely know. Are they employed in the industry you\u2019re interested in? What is their expertise? Pull out the contacts that are connected in some way to the field you want to pursue, so that you have an idea of where to start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start Connecting with People<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to pick up the phone and make some calls. You can schedule times to get together in person, chat over the phone and\/or communicate with people via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interviewsuccessformula.com\/job-search-advice\/10-reasons-why-job-seekers-need-to-embrace-social-media.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of coming out and asking someone for a job, you want to approach them in an effort to improve your knowledge about your particular field and the opportunities that may be there for you. If you approach this sincerely and honestly you should be effective in your networking efforts. You can\u2019t be upset if nothing materializes immediately, just keep at it and continue to make new connections in the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Networking Works Both Ways <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that networking requires give and take. You will be more successful in building your network if you focus on what you can do for those helping you find work. Follow-up with your contacts to keep them updated on what progress you\u2019ve made. You want them engaged to a certain extent in the process with you. This is only being courteous and it should work to your advantage. But remember to ask about them as well.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a veteran or not, we should all know how to network effectively. It\u2019s essential when searching for a job, but even if you\u2019re not, it\u2019s a great way to connect and stay connected with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veterans often feel lost when they begin seeking employment outside the military.
