In this video, Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter discusses two basic principles of networking that you must follow.
The First Question to Ask When You Are Contacted About a Job?
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter and I have advice for you today about the importance of networking and for many of you, you’re doing it all wrong. To you, networking is being online. You’re on LinkedIn.
You’re making connections with people. You’re doing a whole bunch of stuff and you’re not really talking to anyone. Yes, it’s important to influence people with how you communicate.
You’re absolutely right but there’s a difference between talking with someone for real with meeting with someone for real and doing real networking or doing online networking I should say so I want to encourage you get out of the house get out of your office start scheduling regular sessions where you meet with people you know there was a suggestion made some years ago to have lunch with someone every day and that was a networking strategy I want to encourage you talk to someone every day it might be about some professional circumstance where you’re creating an influence where you’re creating your brand and image in people’s minds help them just chat with them see where they could use advice and counsel doing things like that where you’re actually sitting and talking with someone as opposed to emailing or texting will go a long way toward creating this sort of influence that’s going to help you with getting an introduction at a time that you need it again as I said in a recent video the next recession is coming I don’t know when it’s coming but there’s another recession that’s going to be coming I have my opinions about when that’s going to be but it’s irrelevant if I’m right or wrong ultimately another recession is going to come and you want to be in a position where people know you, like you, trust you and want to help you they understand what you do they know you like you, trust you, want to help you. So get out. Talk to people.
Help. This is Jeff Altman. Hope you found this helpful.

Do something that lets people know that it was worthwhile. Then go over to my website which is TheBigGameHunter.us and go exploring. Lots of great content to help you there.
Information about my books and guides, the job hunting videos, podcasts galore, you know, articles I’ve written for my e-zines, you know, lots of great information plus places that you can post your resume to, jobs that I’m recruiting for, information about my books, other people’s books about job search. Come over to the website and go exploring. A few final things.
First of all, if your firm’s trying to hire someone, send me an email at the address below. Let me know who to contact, whether I should mention your name. I’d love to help your firm staff positions. (I no longer do recruiting)
If we’re not already connected on LinkedIn, send me a connection request. The address is LinkedIn.com/in/TheBigGameHunter. I accept connection requests from people worldwide except if you’re a recruiter except if you look like a spammer to me.
By the way, use my email address to connect with me. It’ll save you an email. Finally, if you have a question about job hunting, like everyone, everyone has questions about job hunting but make the mistake . . . most people make the mistake of asking the wrong people for advice.
This is Jeff Altman. Hope you have a great day. Take care.
