If you ever been to an event with networking in the title, you have probably been asked to share a little something.
Are you breaking out in a sweat yet?
Many networking events begin with an icebreaker. The most common icebreaker is to go around the room and have everyone stand up, give an introduction and say a little something about themselves.
What should you say? How much should you share?
Be prepared before you go to your next networking event by creating a standard little something about yourself using this easy to use formula.
Your name, educational background, what you’re looking for and some way that you spend your time, such as a hobby or volunteer work.
For example: My name is Caroline Jones. I recently graduated from State University with a degree in business. I would really like to find a position in the financial services industry. In my spare time, I love to play soccer.
Practice your little something and you’ll be calm, cool and collected at your next networking event.
