Online Networking: New Ways to Develop Yourself Professionally
Online Networking is a new way of networking with a different set of rules from our traditional world of networking. Email, invitations, and photos replace the 30-second elevator pitch, handshake and working the room. The Internet opens new avenues for success in our lives, both professionally and personally. Knowing how to network online successfully means learning where and how to network and mastering a new etiquette.
We'll discuss how to build and cultivate your online network and how to make the most of what you're already doing. We'll look at LinkedIn and Facebook and discuss other effective networking venues. We'll also discuss how to present yourself online. Finally, we'll consider some of the reasons you should be networking.
Presenters Angie Dianetti and Jill McCauslin have over 35 years combined experience in technical writing and instructional design. They are both Vice Presidents of Radcom, Inc., a local consulting company specializing in custom content development. As business owners, they have spent countless hours over the last 11 years networking, both online and in person.
