In these days (hopefully ending soon) of social distancing my mind keeps turning to those actively seeking a new career opportunity, especially those who are unemployed. Don’t Stop Networking! Just know your goal can’t be to schedule an in-person meeting.

Your goals of: 1) introducing yourself and how you’ve been referred, 2) learning more about them personally and professionally and 3) sharing the type of opportunity you are seeking can still be achieved. Now you even have another objective – mutual education and support. Ask them how their personal and business life has been impacted. Share what your personal experience has been and what you’ve learned from others.

I believe people are naturally wired to help. Call them, help them and give them the opportunity to help you!
