Networking 101

This presentation by Lance Gelein from our April ‘03 program meeting focuses on marketing basics, how to develop tools for marketing and ways to make you stand out from the masses. Other topics include ways to find new opportunities and completing a personal marketing evaluation.

Employees hired during the frenzied Employees’ Market of the 1990s and who have never been laid off are at a huge disadvantage in the glutted job market: they have little or no idea how to market and develop new opportunities. This presentation will give you the encouragement and tools you’ll need to go out and market your services: networking101.pdf.

He is currently involved in technical and marketing communication, usability testing, Web site development, project management, and content management. His list of clients is a who’s who in industry including Abgenix, Medtronic, Intel, Delta Dental, Hewlett-Packard, Palm Inc., Kaiser-Permanente, Apple Computer and Pacific Bell.

Networking for Introverts

We spend time networking before every monthly STC presentation. Yet in our professional lives, we often misunderstand networking’s purpose, and misuse its techniques. See this Sept ‘02 program meeting presentation from Emma Hamer: hamer.zip. Emma is with Bailie Technical Services, Inc., and works with Bernard Haldane Associates as an independent career advisor. She has more than 15 years of experience as a business manager, operational director, and career consultant.
