a) Networking is considered a key component of professional socialization. "It's all about who you know.." How do you approach networking? What challenges do you face? What networking opportunities have you had?
I tend to approach networking a little bit differently than most people that I know. I am a little bit old school. Pretty much all of the networking I have done involves face to face conversation, or talking with someone that a friend or family member knows (and my dad seems to know everyone and their brother in Hickory). While networking with people in medical sales, I have spoken to three people, and two of them have been in orthopedic sales, which is what I really want to go into. One of them told me that after graduation, there would be a job opening that they could help me get. Now this would be in general medical sales, but it is a starting point, and will help me get some good experiences. I have used sites such as linkedin to network. I find these a little bit harder to use, just because I am not very tech savvy, and I would much rather have a phone conversation or speak face to face. One of the huge challenges I face is with networking that involves online communication. I am fairly bad with anything on a computer, and I am fairly new to networking online as it is. I have had opportunities to network with some people in the field that I want to go into. All of them being face to face conversation or phone conversation. Leave a Reply. |
