How to network in the digital age
As in face-to-face interactions,
networking in the digital world de-
mands respect and courtesy.
Robert Half Canada, a profession-
al staffing company, offers tips on the
new rules of digital etiquette:
Complete your profile: On Linke-
dIn, for example, include work his-
tory and education, citing significant
accomplishments.
Request recommendations indi-
vidually: When seeking an endorse-
ment, ask individually instead of
making a generic appeal. Avoid mak-
ing quid pro quo recommendations.
Value quality over quantity:
Build a network with those you
know instead of recruiting vaguely
connected contacts.
Be a joiner: Digital networks
link those with similar interests, but
refrain from sending direct messages
to members of the group without first
establishing a personal connection.
Say "please" and be respectful:
When seeking an introduction to
someone in a contact's group, ex
-
plain the purpose of the request.
