One of the best ways to achieve long-term success is by intelligently, thoughtfully and consistently networking
It makes a massive difference when a résumé is shared internally. Companies love internal referrals. They know that if an employee recommends a person, they must be good, as no one wants to risk their credibility by suggesting a person who is inappropriate for the role. It also saves on the costs of retaining a recruiter to fill the role or paying for more job listings.
Now that you see how this works, you can take the next step and be bolder. You may have heard of the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.” It's kind of a dated reference, but back in the day, Kevin Bacon was in so many movies that it was a party game to see how he was connected with other actors. It didn’t have to be a direct link. It could be that Kevin Bacon worked with an actress who later did a film with Brad Pitt. Then, anyone Pitt did a film with would be indirectly associated with Bacon.
These random acts of kindness—instead of being thought of as networking—should all be done in the spirit of helping others. If the recipient feels that you are only being kind because of an ulterior motive, it will spectacularly backfire on you. When people truly believe that you care about them, they will only be too happy to help you when offered the chance.
Seek out well-known recruiters in your field. Even if you are not actively searching for a job, connect with them on LinkedIn, submit a résumé and set up an in-person meeting. Let them know that you are not actively looking right now, but would love to be on their radar. You can do this with up to about five recruiters. These recruiters will know almost everyone in your niche.
Clark tailored a brief email politely asking the person if they’d like to jump on a quick video chat to catch up. No agenda or ulterior motive was mentioned. His theory, which has proven true, was that everyone is in the same boat now. At the time, we were all incredibly bored and stuck at home, looking for something to do, as there’s only so much time you can spend binge-watching Netflix shows, like the. We all needed something a little different and interesting to pass the time.
