Q&A Quick Tip: Real Questions from MBAs

Q: What’s the biggest mistake you should avoid while networking and what are some good strategies for in person and social media networking?

A: The biggest mistake to avoid with networking is to “get before you give.” I have learned that giving is the best way to become a great networker. When you give, you become a resource and people will seek you out for information and want to give back to you. Remember, no one wants to be used. Good luck!
