This is an example from my business, but it applies equally to networking to find a job. I am constantly amazed at where business comes from. I often find myself handing over business cards at the weirdest places. One of the most bizarre was when I was donating blood and the nurse and I got talking about how much trouble her son was having finding a role. The truth is that networking is as simple as being polite and being interested,and the 25% formula does rule. The thing that is most powerful about that 25% is that time is yours. The person becomes genuinely interested in you, once you’ve shown a genuine (and it has to be genuine) interest in them. One of my clients who was a senior HR Manager actually found a role by being genuinely interested in the person next to her on the beach….in a purely professional sense that is 😉

And I particularly like the reminder to be prepared to answer some questions about yourself, because occasionally we do meet people who are not comfortable being on the receiving end of all those questions. Excellent information on your blog – thanks!
