Weekly Recruiting
Tip
Tune
Up Your Networking Skills!
By Nelson
Abreu
I recently
attended a seminar on improving one's networking skills
and thought I would share some of the information I
learned. It was clear that everyone there, regardless of
their profession type, level of experience or industry
background, agreed that an improvement in their
networking skills would contribute to more positive
results in their careers. I was surprised that of the
approximately 50 people in attendance only two were
professional recruiters. Considering that networking is
the cornerstone of our profession I was a little
disappointed that there were so few of us there. So
here's a doggy-bag of tips that I brought home for you
all. Enjoy!
Key traits
of an effective networker:
- Your contacts must
understand your need.
- Your contacts must
like you or at least have a reason to like you. A
smile, sharp appearance, confidence, positive
attitude, etc.
- Your contacts must
trust you or must find you trustworthy. Mentioning
clients, assignments completed, your experience,
recommendations, etc.
How to build
a network:
- Develop a powerful and
diverse contact base as it applies to your needs.
- Create a
positive/powerful message. Leave your contacts with
positive statements at the end of conversations.
Key
strategies:
- Those who give, gain!
If you are always asking people of ways you can
benefit from their help they won't be around for too
long.
- Networks need tending
to. A network that doesn't talk is simply a phone
book. Make an effort to communicate regularly even
if that means remembering birthdays and such.
Things to
Remember:
- First impressions are
judged 50% on appearance, 40% on voice projection
and 10% on content.
- Wear name badges on
the right lapel because this is the hand you extend
to greet with, hence makes your name obvious.
- Keep business cards in
your left pocket and contact's cards in your right
pocket.
- You can reach for your
cards with your left hand as you greet with your
right and cards will never get mixed up.
- Look at the other
person's business card before putting it in your
pocket.
- Aim to connect the web
of your thumb with that of the person you are
shaking hands with. Weak hand-shakes are generally
received poorly.
- Hold drinks in your
left hand to help aviod the ice-cold hand shake.
- Don't interrupt a
conversation between two people you don't know in
order to introduce yourself.

________________________ Site Of The Month -
USA
Work & Study
Hiring
software engineers with F-1 visas - the inside story
Recruiters
are often unaware that F-1 visa holders can work full-time
for up to 2 years under university authorization. Visa
info (including chart) by nonprofit USA
Work & Study tells the story of the F-1's benefits
for employers.
The
key advantages of hiring F-1 visa holders are: (1) no
sponsorship cost and no paperwork for the employer, (2) no
INS delays-candidates can start work immediately, and (3)
no federally-mandated salary requirements.
Many
experienced software professionals from overseas are now
in the US earning MS degrees in computer science. The INS
allows universities to authorize full-time jobs as
curricular practical training for graduate programs.
Employers are finding graduate level F-1s to be a valuable
source of highly qualified IT talent.
