they they almost always get an interview

network because it will connect you to

62
00:02:28.350 --> 00:02:30.330
people at organizations where you want

63
00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:32.310
to work and being connected to someone

64
00:02:32.310 --> 00:02:34.980
at an organization can greatly increase

65
00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:37.980

them

69
00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:45.419
I asked Laura I would say the number one

70
00:02:45.419 --> 00:02:47.970
way is networking dang it it's still

71
00:02:47.970 --> 00:02:50.490
networking and I know that we hear that

72
00:02:50.490 --> 00:02:52.560
over and over again and some of us kind

73
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:53.910
of roll our eyes because we don't love

74
00:02:53.910 --> 00:02:55.919
networking but it is it's played out

75
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.690
again and again but networking is the

76
00:02:57.690 --> 00:02:59.630
best way to find opportunities

77
00:02:59.630 --> 00:03:02.850
networking again she brings up LinkedIn

78
00:03:02.850 --> 00:03:05.370
it's a website that professionals use in

79
00:03:05.370 --> 00:03:07.590
the u.s. a lot so if you're looking for

80
00:03:07.590 --> 00:03:09.900
a job in the US it's important to get to

81
00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:12.020
know it and to use it if at all possible

82
00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:15.660
so how should you use LinkedIn or let's

83
00:03:15.660 --> 00:03:18.950
say you're interested and aquaponic

84
00:03:18.950 --> 00:03:21.780
gardening or farming that's something

85
00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:23.340
that's very niche but that you can just

86
00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:26.580
enter as a keyword and you can see

87
00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:27.870
people who are actually working in that

88
00:03:27.870 --> 00:03:29.639
industry and it's a way to reach out to

89
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.320
those people build your network or to

90
00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:33.000
just see what kind of jobs they've had

91
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.459
in the past so that you can look at

92
00:03:35.459 --> 00:03:37.140
those organizations you can see if those

93
00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:39.990
organizations have jobs so it's a great

94
00:03:39.990 --> 00:03:41.880
way to do research and extend your

95
00:03:41.880 --> 00:03:43.770
network at the same time and then find

96
00:03:43.770 --> 00:03:46.560
opportunities create a profile create as

97
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.030
many connections as you can

98
00:03:48.030 --> 00:03:51.180
friends family former co-workers and so

99
00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:54.030
on that way as you do research and see

100
00:03:54.030 --> 00:03:55.530
organizations that you'd like to work

101
00:03:55.530 --> 00:03:57.660
for you can see how closely you're

102
00:03:57.660 --> 00:03:59.250
connected to someone who works there

103
00:03:59.250 --> 00:04:02.130
aside from LinkedIn how well should you

104
00:04:02.130 --> 00:04:05.209
be networking to maximize connections

105
00:04:05.209 --> 00:04:07.950
Laura talked about going to conferences

106
00:04:07.950 --> 00:04:09.709
in the field in which you want to work

107
00:04:09.709 --> 00:04:12.150
conferences can be expensive but you can

108
00:04:12.150 --> 00:04:14.160
look into volunteering which could get

109
00:04:14.160 --> 00:04:16.890
you in for free you can find

110
00:04:16.890 --> 00:04:18.359
opportunities just by going to those

111
00:04:18.359 --> 00:04:21.299
conferences talking to people looking at

112
00:04:21.299 --> 00:04:23.240
job postings that people have

113
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.339
our advertising there it's a great tip I

114
00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:26.930
never thought about that but if you make

115
00:04:26.930 --> 00:04:28.880
the effort to go to a conference and

116
00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:31.279
meet people face-to-face that's really

117
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.870
gonna help build your network and they

118
00:04:32.870 --> 00:04:34.759
want to meet you too without having to

119
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.919
go through the whole process of trying

120
00:04:36.919 --> 00:04:38.870
to find someone so if you meet someone

121
00:04:38.870 --> 00:04:40.009
you have a good connection you're

122
00:04:40.009 --> 00:04:41.479
already miles ahead of someone else who

123
00:04:41.479 --> 00:04:43.870
just submits a paper resume

124
00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:48.229
LinkedIn conferences what else I would

125
00:04:48.229 --> 00:04:49.819
just say talking to people you never

126
00:04:49.819 --> 00:04:51.110
know when you're going to meet someone

127
00:04:51.110 --> 00:04:53.300
that could have a tip for you or have a

128
00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:55.220
connection for you I've heard of people

129
00:04:55.220 --> 00:04:56.930
talking to someone next to them on the

130
00:04:56.930 --> 00:04:59.659
airplane and ending up getting a job or

131
00:04:59.659 --> 00:05:02.479
an opportunity that way so just talking

132
00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:03.800
to people in general and making

133
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.930
connections but if you're very

134
00:05:05.930 --> 00:05:07.819
intentionally trying to network then I

135
00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:09.740
would say start thinking about who you

136
00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:12.259
already know in your network so friends

137
00:05:12.259 --> 00:05:14.210
family friends and family family and

138
00:05:14.210 --> 00:05:16.520
friends former professors former

139
00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:18.470
teachers your doctor anyone that you

140
00:05:18.470 --> 00:05:20.569
already know in your network telling

141
00:05:20.569 --> 00:05:22.069
them what you're looking for and just

142
00:05:22.069 --> 00:05:23.479
putting the word out there in the

143
00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:25.419
universe there as many people as you can

144
00:05:25.419 --> 00:05:27.710
they may know someone who knows someone

145
00:05:27.710 --> 00:05:30.800
yeah so you already have a network based

146
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.120
on people you know but then they know

147
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.940
other people as well and then I would

148
00:05:34.940 --> 00:05:36.800
say that if you're a college student

149
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.810
your university or college may have a

150
00:05:38.810 --> 00:05:41.180
very extensive alumni directory that you

151
00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:44.419
could tap into and start reaching out to

152
00:05:44.419 --> 00:05:46.250
people that way because of that similar

153
00:05:46.250 --> 00:05:48.800
shared alma mater so even if it's hard

154
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.930
for you to imagine yourself striking up

155
00:05:50.930 --> 00:05:52.789
a conversation with the person sitting

156
00:05:52.789 --> 00:05:54.770
next to you on an airplane you can still

157
00:05:54.770 --> 00:05:56.449
put a lot of effort into letting people

158
00:05:56.449 --> 00:05:59.479
know what you're looking for once you've

159
00:05:59.479 --> 00:06:01.190
discovered someone in your networking

160
00:06:01.190 --> 00:06:03.229
that you think could really be of help

161
00:06:03.229 --> 00:06:05.509
to you that you think could really be an

162
00:06:05.509 --> 00:06:08.089
important connection what can you do and

163
00:06:08.089 --> 00:06:10.400
then once you make a connection with

164
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:13.639
someone the best way to network with

165
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.589
them is through an informational

166
00:06:15.589 --> 00:06:17.120
interview so an informational interview

167
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.520
is when you turn the tables and you are

168
00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:21.229
the one who is interviewing them about

169
00:06:21.229 --> 00:06:23.270
their work or their career as opposed to

170
00:06:23.270 --> 00:06:25.159
them interviewing you for a position and

171
00:06:25.159 --> 00:06:28.219
so those typically are a half an hour 45

172
00:06:28.219 --> 00:06:30.229
minutes over coffee on the phone and

173
00:06:30.229 --> 00:06:32.240
you're just learning what you can about

174
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.310
them and making that connection so that

175
00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:35.960
while you're building

176
00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:37.820
a connection for a potential opportunity

177
00:06:37.820 --> 00:06:39.229
in the future you're also learning a lot

178
00:06:39.229 --> 00:06:41.720
about the industry and it can help you

179
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.610
with your job search I'm just learning

180
00:06:43.610 --> 00:06:46.339
what they have to say ok so if your

181
00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:49.370
friend's mom says hey my co-workers

182
00:06:49.370 --> 00:06:52.039
husband works in that then you say great

183
00:06:52.039 --> 00:06:54.020
can I have the contact information and

184
00:06:54.020 --> 00:06:55.250
if they're willing to give it out then

185
00:06:55.250 --> 00:06:57.650
you just call the person up and say I'd

186
00:06:57.650 --> 00:06:59.240
love to ask a few questions about your

187
00:06:59.240 --> 00:06:59.750
work

188
00:06:59.750 --> 00:07:01.220
so typically I would say that first

189
00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:02.870
contact should be email just that's

190
00:07:02.870 --> 00:07:05.449
lower pressure but saying this is who I

191
00:07:05.449 --> 00:07:07.160
am this is why I'm interested in you

192
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.349
specifically here's a couple of specific

193
00:07:09.349 --> 00:07:11.389
questions I would like to ask you do you

194
00:07:11.389 --> 00:07:13.160
have twenty thirty minutes that you

195
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.389
could talk to me the next couple of

196
00:07:14.389 --> 00:07:18.500
weeks and and and then you know you're

197
00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:20.330
having this conversation with him you're

198
00:07:20.330 --> 00:07:22.280
wanting to prepare making you sure you

199
00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:24.680
have a lot of questions ready sometimes

200
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.300
all it takes is you ask one question and

201
00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:27.410
that person talks for half an hour

202
00:07:27.410 --> 00:07:30.110
sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get

203
00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:31.580
them to talk so you have to have 10 to

204
00:07:31.580 --> 00:07:33.289
15 questions and it's really just

205
00:07:33.289 --> 00:07:34.520
whatever you want to know about their

206
00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:36.979
career their organization their current

207
00:07:36.979 --> 00:07:41.060
job their graduate program and getting

208
00:07:41.060 --> 00:07:43.070
as much information as you can and then

209
00:07:43.070 --> 00:07:44.840
always following up with a thank-you

210
00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:47.090
note a handwritten thank you note or an

211
00:07:47.090 --> 00:07:49.400
email either way but just letting them

212
00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:50.930
know that you appreciate the time that

213
00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:53.090
they've spent with you again it's just a

214
00:07:53.090 --> 00:07:55.760
foster in that relationship and not all

215
00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:57.440
relationships will turn into

216
00:07:57.440 --> 00:08:00.949
opportunities but some of them will Wow

217
00:08:00.949 --> 00:08:02.750
that's a lot of effort that's really

218
00:08:02.750 --> 00:08:04.849
putting yourself out there how often

219
00:08:04.849 --> 00:08:07.460
does it work and I would say personally

220
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:09.770
I've had about half of my job

221
00:08:09.770 --> 00:08:13.039
opportunities result as or happened

222
00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:16.099
because of networking mm-hmm networking

223
00:08:16.099 --> 00:08:18.110
with people that you didn't already know

224
00:08:18.110 --> 00:08:19.400
very well that you had to make some

225
00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:22.130
effort to network with them I would say

226
00:08:22.130 --> 00:08:25.550
it's probably about half and half some

227
00:08:25.550 --> 00:08:27.289
of them were friends who connected me

228
00:08:27.289 --> 00:08:29.180
with someone else

229
00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:31.970
yeah more more often than not its

230
00:08:31.970 --> 00:08:34.159
friends or someone I know connecting me

231
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.958
with someone I don't know and having a

232
00:08:35.958 --> 00:08:38.208
conversation with them them letting me

233
00:08:38.208 --> 00:08:40.339
know about opportunities in the moment

234
00:08:40.339 --> 00:08:41.990
or telling me as they see them come up

235
00:08:41.990 --> 00:08:46.339
later so it is it's worth what sometimes

236
00:08:46.339 --> 00:08:48.440
feels like a lot of effort and here

237
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.630
sometimes awkward conversations mm-hmm

238
00:08:50.630 --> 00:08:52.700
especially for an introvert this kind of

239
00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:55.280
thing can be harder but just it's it's

240
00:08:55.280 --> 00:08:57.650
worth if you're really looking for work

241
00:08:57.650 --> 00:08:59.360
and you think you've made a good

242
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.220
connection it's worth the effort to step

243
00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:02.720
out of your comfort zone and try to do

244
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.490
that and I think for introverts the

245
00:09:04.490 --> 00:09:05.870
positive thing about informational

246
00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:07.059
interviews is that it's one-on-one

247
00:09:07.059 --> 00:09:09.140
mm-hmm and so it feels a lot more

248
00:09:09.140 --> 00:09:11.179
manageable networking events can be

249
00:09:11.179 --> 00:09:13.250
really overwhelming for introverts and

250
00:09:13.250 --> 00:09:15.440
so although those events can be helpful

251
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.720
and you may meet people typically you

252
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.000
aren't developing as authentic and

253
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.740
strong of relationships as when you have

254
00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:23.450
a one-on-one conversation with someone

255
00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:25.910
mm-hmm can you imagine if you've sat

256
00:09:25.910 --> 00:09:27.710
down with someone for 30 minutes for a

257
00:09:27.710 --> 00:09:29.840
conversation they're going to get to

258
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.850
know you and understand your strengths

259
00:09:31.850 --> 00:09:34.160
and your personality if you end up

260
00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:35.809
applying for a job at that person's

261
00:09:35.809 --> 00:09:38.150
organization they're going to have a lot

262
00:09:38.150 --> 00:09:39.950
more to say about you than if you just

263
00:09:39.950 --> 00:09:42.800
exchanged a few emails so though it

264
00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:44.420
takes effort and require some

265
00:09:44.420 --> 00:09:46.700
preparation the time spent will likely

266
00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:49.059
be more fruitful than spending that time

267
00:09:49.059 --> 00:09:51.130
scouring the internet for positions

268
00:09:51.130 --> 00:09:53.660
having said that there are other ways to

269
00:09:53.660 --> 00:09:55.570
look for jobs outside of networking

270
00:09:55.570 --> 00:10:00.160
there are also some very specific

271
00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:02.390
associations for different industries

272
00:10:02.390 --> 00:10:04.429
that have their own job registries so

273
00:10:04.429 --> 00:10:07.730
you can be looking at for example the

274
00:10:07.730 --> 00:10:09.380
National Association of speech-language

275
00:10:09.380 --> 00:10:11.480
pathologists you can go to their website

276
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.309
they have their own job registry and

277
00:10:13.309 --> 00:10:15.590
look there for opportunities are those

278
00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:17.710
usually free if you're looking for a job

279
00:10:17.710 --> 00:10:21.970
yes not always but they often are and

280
00:10:21.970 --> 00:10:24.890
there are industry specific websites as

281
00:10:24.890 --> 00:10:27.830
well like idealist org is for nonprofit

282
00:10:27.830 --> 00:10:29.420
jobs specifically and that's a free

283
00:10:29.420 --> 00:10:32.059
website typically if there's a fee it's

284
00:10:32.059 --> 00:10:34.880
a minimal fee but don't get sucked into

285
00:10:34.880 --> 00:10:36.679
spending all your time looking for the

286
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.380
right job spend most of your time making

287
00:10:39.380 --> 00:10:42.410
the right connections with people the

288
00:10:42.410 --> 00:10:44.750
other thing I wanted to add here at the

289
00:10:44.750 --> 00:10:49.700
end is that 70% of a job search should

290
00:10:49.700 --> 00:10:52.040
be networking so this is like I just

291
00:10:52.040 --> 00:10:53.900
want to highlight this in the last part

292
00:10:53.900 --> 00:10:56.750
that how important networking is 75%

293
00:10:56.750 --> 00:10:59.900
should be spent on researching people

294
00:10:59.900 --> 00:11:01.740
researching organization

295
00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:04.059
writing that initial email to somebody

296
00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:06.460
following up with them talking with them

297
00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:09.090
having that informational interview

298
00:11:09.090 --> 00:11:11.470
following up on any tips or advice they

299
00:11:11.470 --> 00:11:14.530
give you following up with them sending

300
00:11:14.530 --> 00:11:15.610
them a thank-you note

301
00:11:15.610 --> 00:11:17.890
staying in touch in the future if that

302
00:11:17.890 --> 00:11:20.280
makes sense if you had a good connection

303
00:11:20.280 --> 00:11:24.340
so that's 70% of the job search 30% of

304
00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:28.320
the job search is looking for positions

305
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.600
looking on job platforms writing your

306
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.910
cover letter tailoring or targeting your

307
00:11:33.910 --> 00:11:37.090
resume so it's really flipped from the

308
00:11:37.090 --> 00:11:38.590
way that I think the general population

309
00:11:38.590 --> 00:11:41.740
thinks about the job search I'm so

310
00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:43.780
spending more time focused on building

311
00:11:43.780 --> 00:11:44.920
that network and connecting with people

312
00:11:44.920 --> 00:11:47.950
and less time actually scouring the job

313
00:11:47.950 --> 00:11:50.980
platforms and creating your application

314
00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:52.900
materials interesting I would have

315
00:11:52.900 --> 00:11:56.050
definitely probably defaulted myself to

316
00:11:56.050 --> 00:11:59.050
doing all this research sort of in a

317
00:11:59.050 --> 00:12:01.179
whole by myself at the computer rather

318
00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:04.780
than seeing who's around that that might

319
00:12:04.780 --> 00:12:07.450
be able to help me out to recap your

320
00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:09.160
chances of getting a job will greatly

321
00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:11.080
improve if you have a connection to a

322
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.630
company or an organization and there are

323
00:12:13.630 --> 00:12:15.520
ways you can create those connections

324
00:12:15.520 --> 00:12:18.429
build your network online like on

325
00:12:18.429 --> 00:12:20.830
LinkedIn and in real life by going to

326
00:12:20.830 --> 00:12:22.800
conferences striking up conversations

327
00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:25.929
reaching out to friends family current

328
00:12:25.929 --> 00:12:27.520
and former co-workers teachers

329
00:12:27.520 --> 00:12:29.890
classmates and so on let people know

330
00:12:29.890 --> 00:12:32.710
your goals look for possible links and

331
00:12:32.710 --> 00:12:34.090
when you find a good one make a

332
00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:36.580
connection and maybe do an informational

333
00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:39.850
interview on the phone or in person when

334
00:12:39.850 --> 00:12:41.620
you make an amazing connection and find

335
00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:43.450
your dream job you're going to need to

336
00:12:43.450 --> 00:12:45.460
put together a cover letter or resume

337
00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:48.370

use the word word you're used to

368
00:13:53.970 --> 00:13:56.450
thinking of this as how we describe at

into the world these are things we can

387
00:14:39.660 --> 00:14:42.000
add on but they don't change the meaning

388
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.250
all the phrases mean to tell people

389
00:14:44.250 --> 00:14:46.530
something to try to make sure everyone

390
00:14:46.530 --> 00:14:49.620

391
00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:51.450
make sure everyone in your community all

392
00:14:51.450 --> 00:14:53.400
your contacts know what kind of job

393
00:14:53.400 --> 00:14:55.530
you're looking for so if they hear about

394
00:14:55.530 --> 00:14:57.180
an opportunity they can tell you about

395
00:14:57.180 --> 00:14:59.760

397
00:15:01.950 --> 00:15:03.839

398
00:15:03.839 --> 00:15:05.280
in the universe there as many people as

399
00:15:05.280 --> 00:15:07.800
you can you may have heard someone say

400
00:15:07.800 --> 00:15:11.880
what's the word or any word you can say

401
00:15:11.880 --> 00:15:13.410
this if you're waiting to hear from

402
00:15:13.410 --> 00:15:15.540
someone for example let's say my

403
00:15:15.540 --> 00:15:17.250
sister-in-law is coming to visit today

404
00:15:17.250 --> 00:15:19.800

405
00:15:19.800 --> 00:15:21.720
for her to let us know which train she's

406
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.089
taking I might say to David what's the

407
00:15:24.089 --> 00:15:27.350
word from Audrey or any word from Audrey

408
00:15:27.350 --> 00:15:29.120
and finally a tip on the pronunciation

409
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.760
of this word don't try to make a vowel

410
00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:34.160
sound and then the R consonant the vowel

411
00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:36.140
sound here is actually just like the R

412
00:15:36.140 --> 00:15:39.530
consonant so go right from the W what to

413
00:15:39.530 --> 00:15:42.010
the r uh

414
00:15:42.010 --> 00:15:49.370
were were and then the D word word so I

415
00:15:49.370 --> 00:15:51.620
invite you to put the word out there to

416
00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:53.300
spread the word that you're learning
