Snippets: Network to build rapport

You don’t have to feel like you are seeking charity when you ask family members or friends to hook them up to a job opportunity. When you network with people, think of it as a relationship-building process. As you go outside of your immediate circle of contacts and chat up other people, why not ask them about their career and their company, and what they like and dislike about both? Everyone likes talking about themselves and before you know it, you’ll have built a rapport. Eventually, these new friends will be happy to share job leads and contacts.
