Hello my fabulous ONEin3ers.  Please enjoy this fabulous list of networking sent to us from Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.  Happy Hump Day Job Day!!!!!

Networking Tips and Best Practices from Experienced Networkers!

These tips and best practices are the combined wisdom of  staffers at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. On average, the Chamber staff attends 2-3 networking events per week where they are not only there as networkers, but also as facilitators helping Chamber members make valuable connections with one another.

Event Networking Tips:

Hind-Sight is 20/20…what you wish you knew before taking your first job…

Hello my ONEin3ers.  Oh it is Tuesday and like most Tuesdays we will be asking you a question.  Unlike most Tuesdays however, Devin and I are not going to have our brainstorming sessions to come up with a fabulous question, but rather steal it.

My good friend Carlie, who reads the blog, despite living in Connecticut (gasp….I know, we try to not hold it against her) posted a fabulous question on her Facebook wall last week.  Carlie graduated from Colby College in 2009, and has recently started a job as, what I like to describe as, a drug dealer.  No, you would not find Carlie on a street corner, but rather, in doctors’ offices pitching prescription pharmaceuticals.

Why am I telling you this?  Well Carlie’s fabulous question was…

“what is one thing you wish you knew before you took your first job”

Carlie didn’t answer her own queston, but maybe she was thinking…she wish she knew how to sell drugs better?

As my faithful readers might know, my first job was in Commercial Real Estate.  I suppose what I would have liked to have known before I took the position, well I guess is, that I probably shouldn’t take the job because it would be completely miserable.

So let us know what you wish you knew ONEin3ers and hopefully your answer is better than mine!!

Humpday Jobday career search resources

Hello Onein3ers .  Today is Humpday Jobday so we will be focusing on jobs and resources for how to land one

I took a look at boston.com today and there are many opportunities at companies here in Boston.  Organizations like Deloitte, Children’s Hospital, Boston University and Thompson Reuters are all hiring for a variety of roles and many were recently posted.  Perhaps this means that the job market is opening up… lets hope! .  Check out the link for more info these opportunities as well as other companies that are hiring:  http://www.boston.com/jobs/city/

We young people often downplay the significance of networking in finding a job. Well, downplay no more.

Take advantage of every networking resource available to you because you’ll need BOTH expertise and a strong network to get where you want to professionally. Even if you’re not looking for a job, networking is incredibly important and you should be as many places as you can be so you’ll have a head start when you start your search.

With that in mind, allow ONEin3 to recommend a good organization for you.

Networked Events hosts, well, networking events all over the Boston area. They are some of the best in the city and provide opportunities for job seekers and anyone looking to make connections across a variety of different industries.

Coming up next Wednesday, Networked Events has Boston – Business After Hours at the Liberty Hotel. Who knows, you may get lucky and win a new iPad at the door!

Also, keep an eye out for a ONEin3/Networked Events partnership in the next month or two!
