by Guest Blogger Nadine Riopel, We Hate Networking Club (WHN)
Things have been jumping with us at WHN lately. We had an amaaaaaazing time with the folks at the Global Talent Conference last month. You can read about that here, if you’re interested in immigrant employment and/or the WHN approach to making events unforgettable.
But enough about us – let’s talk about what we’ve got for you!
Who doesn’t hate rejection? No one, that’s who. The fear of it can be a major barrier to building social connections. This month’s blog posts explore the topic of rejection and offer some advice for dealing with it:
Fear of Rejection: What if they don’t like you?
Rejection: When it isn’t about you
A lot of networking advice focuses on meeting people for the first time: first impressions, first connections. But what happens after that? How do you take those initial connections and build them into supportive relationships?
That will be the topic of this month’s We Hate Networking meetup in our new location at On The Rocks. Sign up here to join us for it on March 21.
Answering the age old networking question, “So what do you do?” is tough, but at WHN, we’ve discovered a simple technique to help you answer it masterfully. And now, there’s a short and affordable online course that you can use to learn our technique from anywhere, and at your own pace.
Sign up here to take the Introduce Yourself Quickly and Effectively today!
The We Hate Networking Facebook group is underway! If you can’t make it out to a meetup in person, want to continue the conversation online, or simply prefer an online forum, please join us by clicking this link. We love to hash out ideas, questions, and ponderings with you online almost as much as we love it in person.
Thank you for being part of my community!
