<b>The Place to Network:</b> Creative Networking

October 31, 2006

In order to effectively network, you don't necessarily need to carve time out of your already-packed schedule for 'official networking.' Instead, just focus on meeting people and making connections in your day-to-day activities. For starters, networking need not be confined to 'business activities' or 'business days.'

Holidays, for instance, can be a time of fantastic networking; people are more relaxed and approachable, so you can get to know them on a more personal level. And they're often quite willing to talk shop! I was skiing in a tiny village hidden away in the French Alps, and I'd promised both my family and myself a week free from work. I was convinced I wouldn't even think of networking with anyone there, as this resort is reserved exclusively for government research scientists and their families. Or so I thought. It turned out to be a week of intense networking ' not with the scientists, but with their spouses. One contact led to a particularly prestigious (and well paid) teaching position in Paris.
