How can I network when
I don’t know anyone?
It’s a valid question because many of us have experienced this situation in some form or another. We've all heard that people get jobs based on who they know, but what if you aren't lucky enough to be acquainted with someone in the field you're pursuing?
Your first step is to tell everyone you come across – including family, friends, neighbors, the people in the doctor’s office, fellow churchgoers, etc. – about what you’d like to do. Ask the people you talk to if they know anyone who might be willing to grant you an informational interview. Informational interviews are typically 30 minute conversations in which you learn more about a contact’s career trajectory. They are a terrific entry point to establishing a potentially valuable long-term relationship.
Other tried and true techniques include joining relevant third-party associations (Agricultural Retailers Association, etc.) and attending their events, and doing searches on popular social networks like LinkedIn.com and Facebook.com.
