Maximizing Your Career At-Bats

Now that we’ve made a connection, let’s talk about ingredients #7 and #8.

#7 Ask about career opportunities
At this point, it doesn’t hurt to ask about available job opportunities, either at the company your connection is working at or with other organizations that they may be aware of. We also show you how to reverse engineer your searches on job boards to connect with more potential employers and increase the size of your network.

#8 Build a system for maximum at-bats
As you talk to more and more potential mentors, employers, and connections, you start thinking about other ways to increase your presence as a potential employee. Here we look at referrals and using job alerts to stay on top of newly listed job openings.

Have a think about your system of getting at-bats. How can you make yourself more visible in the job market to potential employers?
