Does networking feel icky to you? If so, you’re doing it wrong, according to Find Your Dream Job guest Angie Callen. Networking is simply building and nurturing relationships with others, and we all do that with friends and family every day. Angie suggests being proactive but not aggressive and focusing on long-term relationships. She says it’s a mistake to only seek someone out for what they can offer you. That is inauthentic. Build authenticity by being true to who you are and finding others who are like-minded or whom you want to know more about.

If you view networking as developing relationships with strangers, it’s time to rethink it. In today’s world of work, networking looks very different. Find Your Dream Job guest Felicia Ann Rose Enuha says your network begins with your own family and friends. Once you reach out to let them know what you’re interested in, they can connect you with people in their own network who may be willing to have a conversation with you. Felicia reminds us that networking is indeed just that - a conversation. Get curious about others’ careers, ask questions, and share your own story with them.
