Personal Business Cards Establish YOU

Just laid off? Market yourself personally all the time by getting personal business cards made up to hand out to people as you meet them.

Business (note) cards

After meeting someone and getting their business card, making a few notes about the person or your conversation aids follow up.

Excuse me, You have Spinach in your teeth...

If you spot a piece of food on your conversation partner (either their face or person), simply make brief mention of it. You will both be relieved to take care of the mishap.

Refine your Listening Skills

Great networking starts by listening to what the other person is saying - and reacting to that.

Magic in the Mingle

Remember when you're at a networking event, you're there to network. Don't forget to mingle. Even if you're having a great time with one person, you can follow up with them later via phone or email.
