(Almost) famous

So what do you do when you have a little (almost) career dilemma and need help?  You NETWORK, of course.  And I’m so glad that a certain, Certified Senior Professional in Human Resources was willing not only to answer my question but to refer to me as “a positive, contributing professional,” right there in her blog.  Goose bumps!  Cigar-worthy stuff, Yessir. (Swisher Sweets Perfecto, I think.) Thanks much, you Career Encourager, you!  I’ll keep you posted.

(I also quite like the pseudonym ”Emily”)

We are ALWAYS networking.

One of the fun things about blogging is finding all of the other people who are blogging about similar things, and commenting on what they write.  Sometimes they’ll then click through to your blog and do the same thing, and voila:  yet another kind of networking.  Good networking is the best way to get a job, by the way.  And we are always networking, whether or not we are doing it well or even consciously.  Relationships are everything. 

Let me say that again.  Relationships are everything. 

So, yesterday?  I commented on one of my favorites, the Career Encouragement Blog (it’s one of two I feature in the column at right) on the topic of informational interviews and how they relate to networking in general.  Which resulted, today, in a whole post based on my comment. 

Wow, which is all so meta!  :)
