'networking' for young people seems much more challenging in the WFH environment. The 'informational' is hard((er)ish) in a Zoom world. But it's also an equalizer. My pledge: I'm ready, willing and available to chat about the work for anyone - you, your friend, your intern, etc.

Some tips from my esteemed brother @YehudaKurtzer:
'1. Come w/ examples of available jobs for insight on appropriateness of your candidacy, or about the org in question; or, a job *not* available but represents a north star of sorts, so we can think about steps to get there.'

2. 'you need to bring the skeletal structure of a narrative for a call to provide connective tissue. I don't have a spreadsheet of available jobs I'm not in the search business; I'm better giving advice about interesting things happening, then directing people to employment'

3. 'It is good practice in networking to have several clear questions with possible concrete answers, rather than expecting the networkee to have a clearly developed plan or obvious suggestions; the more focused you are coming in, the more useful the time will be.'

4. 'if you're hoping to apply for a job in my organization, be transparent about that in your advance outreach.'

Just a few ideas. Now get out there, wash your hands, dont eat lysol, and have a great weekend.
