At our 5 o'clock career network meeting this week (5/14) we are discussing networking and how it is misunderstood. I thought that I would post a question from Stuart's list that dealt with the subject.
How are you connected local to key decision makers?
A recent study revealed that 92% of people in Roanoke are natives of Virginia. Therefore, it is important to know as many people in the community as possible.
Roanoke is a wonderful place. It is possible to actually know people here! Most of us either know a decision maker, or know someone who does. Networking is not using people for your own ends, as is often thought. It is developing relationships that are valuable for everyone involved. Reaching out to a decision maker may help you, but it might also help them!
