Start a spreadsheet of all of your contacts, professional and personal (or use Linked-in) Spend an appropriate amount of time reaching out to the right connections, but limit yourself
Slide 9 - Using Social Media Properly When job searching, make your profiles “private” and include a professional photo
Slide 10 - Linked In – Your Searchable Online Resume Have a complete, accurate, and up-to-date profile. Your profile is searchable, so be sure to include areas of expertise, articles published, presentations, honors/awards. Join relevant groups, and interest groups (clients come from all places – friends, neighbors, etc.). Post updates, share your contacts’ accomplishments – they may return the favor. Use “notes” section to keep track of your contacts

Slide 16 - Intentional Networking – Live Events Go with a friend, but make sure you branch out Approach new people Ask questions about what people do. Don’t just talk about yourself. Do NOT sell! Ask for introductions. Offer to help contact Exit strategies
Slide 17 - Choose the Right Live Events Which organizations to choose? Choose WISELY: 1 legal (OCBA section), 1 non-legal (your area of legal expertise or hobby), Alumni, and 1 community organization. Be interested in your groups. Obtain leadership roles in these groups. Why be active in a legal organization like the OCBA?
Slide 18 - Be Prepared Have a stack of business cards Have your elevator speech ready Attire – professional, business attire Arrive early, so you’ll have plenty of time to network before the presentation Relax, scope out the room Have a plan and stick to it

Slide 21 - Natural Networking This does not come naturally to everyone – it takes practice for some people Talk to people everywhere. Know what your friends and contacts do, and what their needs are. Ask questions Make sure people know what you do (hopefully in a non-annoying way). Most business development occurs outside the professional environment Be approachable
Slide 22 - Cultivating Your New Contact Follow up Follow up again Follow up some more Thank for making introductions, check in to see how they’re doing, set up coffee meetings, forward articles or presentations of interest, refer work, share their stories in social media and tell them about it, send congratulations.
