I might be annoying…

I was working with a client the other day and she kept saying that she was worried that she might be annoying. Annoying someone that was a potential part of her network that would get her an entry into biopharma!

First, asking to network with someone is not annoying (unless you are rude, demanding, or un-appreciative which I doubt you plan to be).

Second, people generally like to help one another if they can.

Third, what do you have to lose by reaching out?? Maybe a lack of a response? Or a response that says they can’t help… AND, what do you have to gain? A potential human being that will have a conversation with you, pass your resume along, or give you some helpful advice.

Networking is critical

It is not annoying

Do it!! 

Make a goal today –

Reach out to one person a week?

One person a day?

What is your networking goal?
