在加拿大Networking都不会还想找工作?给社恐人的Networking指南!
大家在Networking之前一定要想明白自己的目的,不然费功夫又没效果,白白浪费了时间和精力。
小编认为Networking的目的分为短期和长期。短期内的目的主要围绕找到一份工作,而长期目的是构建自己的人脉网,为未来的职业发展甚至创业打下基础。
这篇文章主要适用于以求职为目标的Networking,再进行细分的话又可以分为以下三种:
1、了解信息为主:想要了解行业现状、公司文化、或是特定岗位的工作内容
2、单纯想拿到内推
3、直接获得面试机会
1适合还在探索阶段的人,2和3更适合已经知道自己要做什么并且急需找到一份工作的人。
不同的Networking目的,找谁最有效
针对以上三种不同目的,Networking时应该联系的人也有所不同:
了解信息应该找在你感兴趣的行业和岗位上已经有几年工作经验的前辈。他们对行业会有更深入的认知,对你感兴趣的岗位在行业里的发展路径和前景也有更多了解,所以是更好的人选。但也不建议找工作5年以上的人,因为他们已经有一定地位甚至有自己的家庭,没那么多精力来回答我们的小白问题。
获取内推尽量找和你同岗位的人。如果有已经认识的工作经验丰富的人是最好的,毕竟职级越高内推份量越重。但如果需要问陌生人要内推,建议优先联系刚工作的人,因为他们有更多时间,更需要内推奖金,并且他们还记得找工作的艰辛,也就更愿意帮助求职的人,所以找他们回复率会更高。
想要直接获得面试机会就去找HR或者招人团队的成员manager。这是最难找到但对找工作而言回报最高的networking,毕竟自己有用人需求的人会有更强的回复意愿,小编当初有两个工作机会都是这样找到的。不过这对每天都收到成堆信息的大厂HR不太有用,更适用于中小型公司。
Networking Tips和雷区
1、Tips
▶约对方时主动提出自己有空的时间,免去对方问你时间的麻烦
▶见面前做足功课,提前准备好引导谈话的问题。但也不要一板一眼的跟着走,没话说的时候再用
▶对自己的简历要足够熟悉,准备好一段elevator pitch推销自己
▶准备一些暖场的聊天话题
2、雷区
▶不要上来就问referral!可以在聊天快结束时提起,或是之后发follow up信息的时候询问
▶避免聊到敏感/隐私相关的话题
▶不要向面试对方一样不停问问题,更不要问类似“用三个词形容你自己”之类只有面试官会问的问题
应对不同对象的4个Networking万能模版
1、邀请进行面谈或coffee chat。
要简洁明了地介绍自己,明确说明目的,并且明确地提出你的Ask。注意保持礼貌谦和的语气,让对方感到你的热情和真诚。
Dear [Name],
I wanted to reach out and introduce myself. My name is [Name]. I am writing to express my keen interest in learning more about your experience and your current role at [Company Name]. I would greatly appreciate gaining some valuable insights into the asset management industry as a whole, with a particular focus on [Company Name].
If you would be willing to spare some time, I would be grateful for the opportunity to schedule a phone call at your convenience. Your expertise and perspective would be invaluable to me, and I believe that speaking with someone with firsthand experience in the field would provide me with a deeper understanding.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
2、Follow Up你最近认识的Professional
在各种connect活动中,你可能有机会认识在你梦寐以求的公司工作的前辈,并获取他们的名片或联系方式。在活动后,与他们保持联系、进行跟进是一个非常好的习惯。根据数据,在connect活动上,虽然这些专家可能会与许多人交谈,但只有不到10%的人会进行follow-up。所以你的跟进将会给他们留下深刻的印象。在follow-up邮件中可以提到你们当时讨论的内容,以帮助他回忆,并表达你的感谢和希望继续保持联系的愿望。
Dear [Name],
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the pleasure of meeting you at the recent Networking event in London. Your valuable insights on machine learning trends and your advice regarding work-life balance were truly appreciated and found to be incredibly helpful.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of staying connected and continuing our conversation. Wishing you a fantastic day!
Best regards,
[Your Name]
3、向你目标公司/行业的大佬,寻求建议。
比如你想找 Dream Company里你最喜欢的部门的大佬,获得一些建议或者是对他有更多了解。应该先进行自我介绍,然后说明你是如何得到他的联系方式和想找他的原因,当然约Specific,越Personal越好,然后说明你的Ask.
Dear [Name],
I hope you're having a fantastic week! My name is XX, and I work as an editor at [Company Name]. I came across your intriguing article on marketing strategies on LinkedIn and I wanted to reach out to express my admiration for your relatable and straightforward writing style.
I understand that you're likely swamped with commitments, but I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet for a coffee and gain some insights into your experiences and advice. As a student aspiring to pursue a career as an editor, I believe your expertise would be invaluable.
Thank you very much for considering my request.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
4、与朋友的朋友建立Connection
你的朋友或同事可能会把你推荐给他们的熟人。他们可能会提供相关联系方式,但并不会和对方介绍你的情况。这种情况下,你必须在第一次对话中就提及连接你们的这位朋友,方便进行后续的交谈。例如:
Dear [Name],
I hope this message finds you well. I'm [Name], and I recently had the pleasure of meeting Alice, who kindly provided me with your contact information. Alice mentioned that both of us have a strong interest in dog rescues, and she spoke highly of you, suggesting that we should connect.
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and express my enthusiasm for learning more about you and your involvement with Saving Paws Rescue. It would be wonderful to connect and discuss our shared passion for helping dogs in need.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
