Networking Tips for the Holiday Season
By Kelly Low on PeopleCorner – Powered by PeopleScout
The holiday season is a very sociable time of the year and a great time to strengthen and expand your professional network. With little effort, you can meet a large number of interesting people over the holidays while attending your company’s holiday party, social events with professional associations, celebrations with friends and family, or even your kids’ school events. Networking outside of the workplace can provide a natural platform to connect. People tend to be more festive and therefore more friendly this time of year, so take advantage of these events as an opportunity to meet new people, to develop and deepen your connections with colleagues in less-pressured setting, and to personally thank those who have been supportive or helpful to you throughout the year.
