“No, I’m not the networking type.”

16 12 2011

The idea of networking is not something that turns most of us on. And for some people, the idea of going somewhere to speak to people they don’t know is something to avoid at all cost. After all, you are “not the networking type”, am I right? So why do people do it? And how can it help your career?

The Networking podcast lasts 8 minutes. Earlier in the year I gave a presentation on career networking to scientists attending the Nature Jobs Career Expo in London. They were looking for ways to develop their professional profile and to learn about new opportunities that they might not otherwise come across.

After the session, Nature Jobs interviewed me and I answered a few questions about showing up in person – and showing up online too. I hope you like it.
