4. Network Like a Pro What to say? Don’t ask for jobs—ask for people
Have your introduction pitch ready so you can inform them how they can be most helpful to you
Always ask how you can be of help to them?
Side note: If your contact says “I know of someone that could help…I will ask them if they know of anything.” Thank them, but ask them to make an introduction for you and you do the follow up.
