Everyone has a network; it’s just a matter of thinking broadly and creatively about who is in it. 社交媒体开辟了无数与任何人建立虚拟网络的新途径.

Five Steps to Successful Networking

Step 1. 要明白，建立人际关系网实际上只是一个与人见面和交谈的过程. It's not a sales call and it's not a job interview.

Step 2. Be directive, but not forceful. Since you are typically the one who generated this interaction, you need to be ready to help steer the conversation. Have some questions in mind beforehand about the person's career path, their organization, and advice they may have for you. Let the dialog flow from there.

Step 3. Be appreciative. 你应该尊重与你交往的人的时间和努力. That means be brief if you call without scheduling a meeting, 如果你确实有一个预定的会议，一定要准时，并且时刻注意听讲.

Step 4. Follow up. You should always send a follow-up after meeting someone. 这可以是一封电子邮件，一封邮寄的信件，甚至是LinkedIn上的一个连接请求. 如果会面是在正式场合进行的，那么接下来的谈话应该是一封“感谢”信的语气.

Step 5. Maintain the relationship. The follow up doesn't stop with an email or LinkedIn connection. 在接下来的几个月或几年里，寻找机会偶尔重新联系，但要持续下去.
