If you’re an introvert or not, networking can be a challenge. If you are finding it difficult to navigate on or offline, then this show is for you. Welcome to episode 200 of the podcast!
My guest today is Karen Wickre, who wrote the newly released book, “Taking The Work Out of Networking: An Introvert’s Guide to Making Connections That Count.”

Got comments about the show? Here’s how you can be heard: 

– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number
– Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message
– Send email feedback to mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com

More about Karen:

Karen is the former editorial director for Twitter and has also worked for Google and Wired.com. She is a co-founder of Newsgeist, an annual unconference fostering new approaches to news.

Here are some highlights from the show: 

  • Do the number of connections matter for networking?
  • Quality networking connections matter more than quantity
  • Connecting with people who you define as quality
  • It’s good to know why you’re connecting with someone
  • Social networking rewards large numbers, but you’ll need to enhance your networking experience
  • We discussed how to make the most of new connections on Linkedin
  • Reading the summary of a person’s profile provide hints if this person offers a quality connection opportunity
  • Is there value in the headline (how you describe yourself)?
  • Weak ties (3rd or 4th connections) are often discarded, but potentially valuable

About Mark Anthony Dyson

I am the "The Voice of Job Seekers!" I offer compassionate career and job search advice as I hack and re-imagine the job search process. You need to be "the prescription to an employer's job description." You must be solution-oriented and work in positions in companies where you are the remedy. Your job search must be a lifestyle, and your career must be in front of you constantly. You can no longer shed your aspirations at the change seasons. There are strengths you have that need constant use and development. Be sure you sign up to download my E-Book, "421 Modern Job Search Tips 2021!" You can find my career advice and work in media outlets such as Forbes, Inc., Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, Glassdoor, and many other outlets.
