#1 You can’t CLEARLY articulate
what you’re looking for
![Page 5: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
If you can’t, who can? And by the way, “A challenging position where I can leverage
my people skills” is not going to work –
EVER.

You know
NOTHING about
me or my
company
![Page 7: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Taking the time to do research is the difference
between a serious networker and a
professional VISITOR.

#3 You have no clear VALUE proposition
![Page 9: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
If you don’t know what problem you can solve for companies and why
you are uniquely qualified to do so, you are NOWHERE near
ready to network seriously.

When asked “tell me a
bit about you”, you
walk them through
your resume – A L L O F I T !
![Page 11: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
You weren't asked to provide your
autobiography!
If you can’t talk confidently and unaided
for 1-2 minutes about who you are and
what makes you unique, you need to
STOP networking until you can.

You fumble the
“Table Stakes”
questions
![Page 13: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
There are questions you know will be
asked.
If you struggle with these, you lose
momentum, confidence and
IMPACT.

#6
You have no
POINT OF VIEW
on key industry
issues
![Page 15: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Can you really have years of experience, education and strengths and NOT have a
POV on key issues within the industry and how to solve
them?
![Page 16: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
#7
The “Experience of
You” is haphazard
and unintentional
![Page 17: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
You CANNOT NOT
create an experience
It’s simply a matter of how intentional it is.
![Page 18: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

#8 You have the
WRONG goals for
your networking
meeting
![Page 19: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Your goal isn’t a new job after this
meeting.
It is to create 2-3 warm referrals with potential
hiring managers.
![Page 20: Would You Hire You? 8 Job Networking Mistakes To Avoid To Shorten Your Job Search](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081717/53ebe8df8d7f7289708b550b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
People will refer you for 2 reasons:
1. Because you have impressed them
2. Because you will make them look good
If you fail here, you have missed the point
ENTIRELY

“Never put someone else in the position of determining your
relevance: you should be clear on how you
matter and WHY YOU MATTER”
