Pay attention to personal connections
Don't be too superstitious about yourself, let's think about it, how much can we do by relying on the strength of one person? Nowadays, it is no longer the era of relying on one person to break into the world alone, no matter how capable a person is, his strength is also very small, like a drop of water into the sea. Therefore, only by being good at relying on the strength of others can you sail with the wind and reach the destination as quickly as possible.
It is easy to do things with connections, and it is easy to talk with connections. People who don't know how to network, who aren't good at networking, can't get things done smoothly, let alone some difficult things. With acquaintances, there will be favors, and with favors, it will be easy to speak, and there will be connections, and only then can things that are difficult for others be successfully done. There was a Miss Zhao who called Xiao Li. Speaking of which, the two of them are also "classmates", they were studying in the same school at the time, but their majors were different, and in their sophomore year, the two of them met in a club, and they rarely contacted each other after graduation.
When Xiao Li received a call to "catch up", he was naturally very surprised. After chatting for a while, Miss Zhao told her situation. It turned out that she had just started doing public relations, and now she happened to have a project at hand, which was very competitive in the market, and the time was very tight, and it was also very important. So she wanted to find some connections to help her introduce a newspaper reporter. After asking about the general situation, Xiao Li recommended the right person to her, this reporter has a good relationship with Xiao Li, and it is relatively easy to talk.
When it came time to call the reporter, she was very grateful. More than a month later, Miss Zhao called Xiao Li again and said that she wanted to invite her to dinner, because the reporter she introduced had helped Miss Zhao a lot, and she made the public relations campaign very successful. There was once a very interesting study that showed that there are only six people between anyone and anyone in the world, no matter where you and the other person are, which country, which race, what skin color. Of course, the premise is that there must be a natural relationship between these six people.
In fact, there is no need to be surprised, the second person who makes up this wonderful chain of six is likely to be someone you know, maybe your parents, maybe your classmates, or more likely a colleague in the company. In other words, it's easy to network.
With connections, there is also a key question, which is whether you will use it. There was once a recent graduate international student who wanted to return to China for development, but he found many jobs without success.
One day, he saw on the Internet that a multinational company was recruiting for a position in China, and he felt that this position was very suitable for him, but there were too many applicants for this position, and he felt that the probability of success was too small to rely on his own competition.
At this time, he remembered that he had seen a senior in their school's alumni directory who was also a senior of this company, so he wrote an email overnight and sent it to the senior he had never met, in which he emphasized that he and he were alumni, a fresh graduate of a certain university, and hoped that the senior would give him a chance, and also attached a personal resume of his own.
In fact, he didn't have much hope at that time, because he thought that even if the senior replied to the letter, it might be nothing more than some polite words, and it was impossible to give him an answer immediately.
Unexpectedly, a day later, the senior actually replied to him, the result of the reply was beyond his expectations, so he couldn't believe it, the letter said that he would be allowed to participate in the interview directly the next day, and also attached some success greetings for him. In the end, he managed to get the position, apparently because his alumni relationship with his seniors played a key role.
