Now that you have realized how important networking skills are in your job hunting phase, it is time for me to tell you whom you can actually network with. So in order to network, first thing that you can do is that you can get in touch with your past or present colleagues, your co workers, your managers, or your supervisors whom you have worked with in the past or currently are working with. This is relevant for those individuals who have some kind of previous work experience. At the same time, you can also get in touch with some of your previous clients or your customers that you have served in various capacities, business associates that you've had over the past or currently are in touch with illuminate friends that I mentioned earlier as well. Maybe they can help you with the landing of with your first interview call. Then you have your personal life acquaintances as well.

People that you know, personally, maybe your boyfriend's your father's colleagues, maybe your brother's friends, you know, people that you know, and you basically extend your network. So it's not just your first day of network, it is your second and your third tier as well. So approach All your close family, friends, your family members, all the people that you can possibly know just write down their names, and just go ahead and read them. If they are working in various organizations, it's even better because you can go get an appointment, go to their office, meet them, and ask them for help. If they already have well wishers, they will be able to help you in a very good way, then, obviously, because physical activity is very important if you exercise regularly, or if you play any kind of sport. So all the people that are available over there, maybe you can get in touch with them and ask them for different opportunities that are in the market or if they can help you line you up with different interviews or individuals who are currently employed in different organizations.

Now comes in other thing that is more relevant for those who are basically fresh graduates and have no experience behind them. If you are a fresh graduate, you can get in touch with your previous teachers and your professors because they have taught a lot of people in the past and most of the students will currently be working in some organizations, so you can get in touch with them. Ask for their help. And if you're a good student might do, then they will be able to help you as well. And then finally, irrespective of your social network or the people that you know, anyone with whom you can have a good professional conversation, or a productive one, you can just talk to that person and from one lead to another, try to gain as much information as you can and ask for their help. Because there are some individuals who are genuinely well wishers irrespective of who you are.

So if you come across an individual who is actually listening to you, and you feel that he or she will be able to help you in any way, just ask for their help, because it's perfectly normal. With that, let's move on to the next lecture, where I will be sharing with you various tips on how to improve your networking skills and where to look for productive networking opportunities.
