Holiday Parties Offer Job-Hunting Opportunities (12 Feb 2007)
As employees of this city's trendy Internet-media industry readied for the Christmas-party circuit last year, they had to think about more than what to wear. They also had to decide whether to bring a resume. Behind the holiday cheer, the lavish office bashes thrown in Manhattan's "Silicon Alley" have a hidden identity: frenzied job fair. "This is our main recruiting event," said Laurence Bunin, chief executive of Handshake Dynamics LLC, as five choice recruits milled at his company's Christmas party. To make its office look alluring for the party, the Internet consulting firm shelled out for new couches, a pool table, and funky green sconces. "It engenders morale and excitement, and can be the difference for a potential employee who has concerns about what makes us special," Mr. Bunin says. Earlier this month, Cha! Technologies Inc., which develops Internet payment systems, gave a penthouse bash in downtown Manhattan. Guests enjoyed French wine and hors d'oeuvres from Bond Street, a chic Soho restaurant. But what made it special was the heated outdoor pool where party-goers enjoyed a midnight dip. Cha even supplied bathing suits. "When [potential recruits] see us partying like that, jumping in the pool and drinking and having a good time, they want to be part of it, not just because it is a great company, but because it is a great social circle," says Yoav Andrew Leitersdorf, Cha's 23-year-old co-founder.

Networking Tips For Job Seekers (12 Feb 2007)
Unfortunately for introverted people, it's getting more and more difficult to succeed professionally without developing a broad range of connections to other people. There simply is no such thing as a job or career field in which you can be rewarded entirely for what you know and how well you do your work. You not only have to do your job well but also make sure that others know you're doing your job well. This is especially true if you're self-employed. Word-of-mouth publicity is widely regarded as one of the keys to running just about any type of small business or consulting practice. Remember, it's not just what you know that counts, it's who knows that you know what you know. Visibility is key. This can be trying for introverts who would rather focus on their work than on their relationships at work. And it can be downright painful for shy types who cringe at the thought of self-promotion.
