Strategic networking

Strategic networking to inform and confirm your job search strategy.

Joining and participating in professional organizationals are a networking hack to accelerate your strategic networking.

Share your job search strategy with your connections and take their feedback. Is your job search strategy feasible, or do you need to make adjustments based on what you’re hearing from your contacts.

People are using AI for their job searches, and that is an amazing development. However, there is nothing like human intelligence to give you answers to the questions for your job search.

Questions you might ask during strategic networking include what is the name of the role I’m interested in, what levels does your department have for the job family of interest, does your employer require similar experience at a peer organization to get hired or are they open to candidates with transferrable skills, has the employer recently gone through large re-orgs or are there more anticipated, are there any watch outs or red flags for certain departments or leaders?
