Today's podcast guest is Jason Alba of Jibber Jobber fame. Jason has developed a brilliant network relationship management tool, initially created to support people during a job search campaign. Its application far extends beyond the organisation of career contacts, as you can hear. It's well worth visiting Jason's site to check out Jibber Jobber.
Today's Key Points:
- Networking is an extremley important part of a job search. Some say that as many as 60% of jobs are found through personal contacts.
- Another factor in managing your relationships is to know the strength of your relationship with another. So, make it your business to know and monitor the strength of the relationships within your own network.
- Relationships need working at. Tend to them, consistently.
- Give time for your relationships to develop. They don't grow overnight - so, be patient whilst you are working on them.
- The strength of a relationship is a personal thing. Consequently, they may strengthen at different rates between two people. If you're ahead, nurture the other person along in the relationship, and don't be pushy.
- Have a relationship GOAL. This will ensure that you are always working on your relationships and striving to move them forward.
