NETWORKINGRelationship building
SMALL TALK“A short, transitional dialogue
in which you share your point
of view about a topic in a light,
not too deep manner to
establish a relationship or
bridge to the main event”
STORYTELLING
ASK FOR HELP
REJECTIONIs to be expected and everyone
experiences it during their job
search
LONGER PROCESS(multi-day to multi-month)
Different industries have
different lengths
