You've got ambitions. You have a future in mind. You have plans. You have dreams.
Are you communicating them? Are you communicating them properly?

You've got ambitions. You have a future in mind. You have plans. You have dreams.
Are you communicating them? Are you communicating them properly?
Networking can seem to take an awful lot of time – especially if you're new to it. Businesses cards, emails, meetups, seminars – it all adds up. Networking can end up looking like a giant time consuming drag, an endless drudge hoping to find that one right contact.
Actually, networking is not about extensive activities, endless emails, and all that. Networking is about the power of five minutes.
You're doing a job search or career change (or both), and you're working hard at it. You may be sending out resumes like crazy, or networking, or going to class, or all of these and more. You're doing a lot to advance your career, and you know it.
Unfortunately it seems other people don't know it, and they won't get off your back. They want to know what you're doing in your job search, they want to know how you're doing, they want to know whats up. You may feel you spend more time being bothered by friends, family, and so on than you do interviewing or studying.
