Networking
Posted On Friday, June 20, 2008 at at 8:00 AM by Cordova ClassicNetwork with professionals in other divisions in your company- Rosalino Molina at NYU suggests asking managers from other divisions if they have the time to sit down for coffee or lunch to discuss their experience with you. Sometimes the answer will be no- but otherwise it is a great opportunity to make a favorable impression on other members of the firm. If you have and show a genuine interest in what the person has to say, it will really help in building the relationship.
Choose experts in specific areas of interest to you. That way you can have a more genuine conversation than just merely talking about how they like the firm.
