Pitfalls of the rookie networking hustler

  • Don't overpromote your resume. Focus on building relationships with your professional connections that go beyond what they can do for you. If they ask for your resume, give them a copy, but don't force it on them.
  • Don't assume people know why you're reaching out. Be clear about why you want to connect and let them know if you can help them.
  • Don't attend networking events to collect business cards. First have short conversations to see what you have in common.
  • Don't neglect to follow up. Hustlers are proactive to follow through.
