Networking – the process of making new connections and maintaining long-term relationships – is important in any business and in any industry, construction being no exception. If you are looking for networking opportunities and ideas about how to do it better for jobs in Colorado and surrounding areas, here are a few tips for you:
- Join associations – membership in various professional associations and in your local chamber of commerce is an excellent way to have access to events where you can meet new people and establish new relationships;
- Maintain good relationships from the past – keep in touch with former employees, subcontractors, partners and clients that you worked with in the past;
- Use your business cards – business cards are still very powerful networking tools, so make sure yours is informative and attractive at the same time and don’t forget to take some with you whenever you participate at a corporate event;
- Use specialized websites – corporate networking websites and social media sites are great for setting up relationships with people and companies interested in your activity;
- Offer help first – start a new relationship by providing help, rather than asking for help, that way you can impress your new contact and you can establish yourself as a valuable and reliable contact as well.+
