6 Networking Tips for Introverts
4. Attend events and gatherings
If you are an introvert and find it awkward to approach people, then take advantage of the events and gatherings that take place in the professional world. There would be different people from various companies and industries present under a roof and it would be very easy to approach and improve your networking skills.
5. Be prepared
If you are approaching a particular person, it will be good to have some knowledge about his work background. You can easily strike up a conversation, there will be no awkward pauses and the conversation will go on smoothly. It’s important that you break the ice. This will also showcase your potential and skills as a well-aware professional in your field.
6. Be on good terms with your superiors
You could ask your superiors, if you can accompany them for meetings, invite them for a game at a club or call them over for dinner. Over coffee and cake, you could get a lot of information about people you aspire to work for, about other companies and for all you know you might get entrusted with new responsibilities.
