Seven Steps to Business Socializing (12 Feb 2007)
If you're like me, you may struggle to find meaning in business social events. But socializing is critical to business success. Business parties are business. How you work an event can increase your opportunities or put your career on hold. Socializing well takes planning, skill and determination--and often a mentor to point the way.

Stay Connected With Others Throughout Your Job Search (01 Feb 2007)

The Secret to Mastering 'Nonabusive' Networking (12 Feb 2007)
One of the best avenues for exploring the hidden job market is networking -- using your friends, acquaintances and referrals to scope out unadvertised job opportunities. Most job seekers use some degree of networking in their campaigns. Unfortunately, some of them -- inadvertently or otherwise -- are abusing the networking process, which may diminish its impact for everyone.

In many cases, abuse is simply overuse that results from poor planning and inadequate self-pacing in the job search. Successful networkers pace themselves by arranging calls and meetings at an easily managed tempo. Hasty efforts at getting your message into the marketplace can lead to less successful meetings. Make sure you've given yourself reasonable time for self-appraisal and planning before taking up other people's time. Schedule a good measure of rehearsal time before attempting high-level personal networking.

Work an Event, Not Just a Room (01 Feb 2007)
