Networking is the art of building and nurturing professional relations to succeed in career advancement. In fact, networking is a process that continues throughout an individual's professional career. But, specific networking mistakes must be avoided to make a smooth progression in your career.

 

This blog post highlights 3 main networking mistakes that need to be ignored to succeed in your career growth.

 

  1. Going Unprepared to Attend a Networking Event: One of the biggest blunders that freshers and professionals make is going completely unprepared for networking events. You can get invited at the last minute, but still gaining information about who is attending the events and critical topics to be covered in the event would help catch up on some vital information to make an effective presentation. Also, it enables you to gain the attention of potential employers or industry leaders who can support your projects. If you are curious about networking, you can join the Dojoko global student networking platform. It provides an ecosystem for student collaboration where students connect to learn, grow and make the right academic and career choices. You can become a part of the global student community and attend international student conferences to learn from industry and network with like-minded people.
  2. Being Selfish: If you are going to attend a networking event solely to put your product or company in the forefront and talk about your sales targets, then you are mistaken. People don't come to networking events to listen to preachy sales pitches. They come to connect and collaborate with like-minded people. So, instead of talking about your company, talk about how you add value to the lives of people who are using your products or services, then you can earn some good professional relations.
  3. Over Indulgence in Your Phone: You are attending an event; you are there for a reason to connect with people. But, when you get busy with your phone, you can push away possible connections. So, try to attend the event with the motive of meeting people, making connections, and earning referrals to get a job or funding for your project.

To sum up, it is crucial to leverage networking possibilities while being decent in your approach and avoiding a sales attitude. It would help you establish long-lasting professional relations to help you attain your career goals.
