Networking Profile-Part II

Practice your networking profile.  It should feel natural and authentic. Revise it if necessary. 

This is how you will introduce yourself at the next networking event you attend. 

You are seeking to make a connection with the person you are meeting.   You make a connection through connection points in your conversation.   In your networking profile, these connection points may be your alma mater, major or your chosen career.  A connection point leads to further conversation.  Further conversation leads to a professional relationship, referral or introduction to a colleague.

The only item more important than your networking profile is your resume.
