what is the best way to network over the holidays coming right up in this video
after this intro
hey guys easy RG here today we're gonna be talking about the single best way to
network over the holidays and I've got a really good pro tip for you here that a
lot of people probably haven't realized or are not utilizing to the best of
their ability in order to make the most of the holiday season so as you guys
know especially in clinical research things shut down around the holidays
after October 31st which is Halloween in the United States things start to shut
down for a number of reasons people are using PTO people are taking vacations
people are using if the holiday time that they have you've got two major
holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas and then you have New Year's and so people
are shut down sites are shut down hospitals are
running a little bit less filled so you've got multiple reasons as to why
things tend to shut down in the holiday season but because things shut down that
does not mean that you can't have a successful holiday season especially
when you're on the offensive trying to get into the industry for the first time
so that does not mean that you can't take advantage of this hack in order to
get into the in the industry get more networking get better contacts and
really take advantage of recruiters being on holiday so are you guys ready
for this hack well it is holiday parties why are holiday parties such a good time
for you to network with people at a company potentially again with the
company well we've got a couple things going for you you've got the overall
cheer and Happiness of the holiday vibe in the holiday mood so people are going
to be more apt to do things for you there any more apt to say nice things
and kind of bend over backwards to help you even though most HR departments and
recruiting departments are pretty much shut down over the holiday time
they will be more likely to connect you with the right people more likely to
remember you when things happen in the new year and things tend to open up so
you attending holiday parties is a great hack in order to really maximize
everyone really being on break on the holiday time so if you can get invited
to one of your friend holiday parties at the company you get to network with
those people but you get to see you they get to have a conversation with you
potentially and then you can follow up with them via email later or however you
want to do it be a phone however they say to do it maybe you have a one-on-one
meeting or whatever it is but this is one of the things that you really got to
think outside the box on on how to get your foot in the door at a company
especially in clinical research it is very very competitive now a lot more
competitive than when I was two getting into the industry a couple years ago it
is not the same before they used to have to beg people to get into the industry
people didn't know about it people didn't know if it was legit if there was
a great career path but now people are starting to figure out about it and is
more and more competitive every day so you can use this hack to your advantage
and this is a great hack for not just people who are outside the industry but
even if you're in the industry and you're trying to either move companies
you're trying to maybe get a different position within your own company this is
a great time to talk to people when they're a little bit more casual a
little bit more laid-back they're not so stressed there's probably some drinks
some good food great time to network with people great time to collect some
business cars hand out some business cards and set up some future meetings in
the new year so this is a really win-win situation for everyone involved but
especially if you are looking to get into a company that you are fond of see
if you can get invited by one of your friends to the Christmas party
and this is extremely ROI positive and this is this could literally change your
whole life and your whole career trajectory because
it is all about networking it's about who you know to get jobs to get the good
jobs and you all know that we talked about this on this channel all the time
so Christmas party holiday party whatever it is make sure you get invited
make sure you're able to go and network network network all right guys that's it
