People ask me all of the time which blogs and websites I follow, so this is for you!
Why? Because you need the following things:
– to network…you need to know about all events taking place in your area.
– to gather information…the more you know about the industry and the current happenings, the more intelligent you will sound in your interviews and while networking.
– to hear about your contact updates…you can see when one of your contacts has changed positions or been promoted. This is a perfect opportunity to follow up with that contact and to send them a courtesy note.
– to read about new companies in your area…new company implies that they will need to hire some new employees. Hint…meet those people ASAP.
– and finally – to perfect your marketable skills! If you are interested in marketing, you should follow blogs regarding the trends and research behind marketing. If you are interested in audio, make sure you are following the latest audio tech trends.
