Week 3 EOC: Deeper Meaning of "Swingers" Film

The film “Swingers” reveals some valid information and tips on etiquette that can be helpful to a person when pursuing their chosen careers and dreams while networking.  For example, be brave and confident in yourself when introducing yourself to a company’s employer(s).  Also, choose wisely when you make business card exchanges; exchange your card with someone when it will be if benefit to both of you.  Mainly when someone asks for a card or when you offer your assistance with something they want or need them to follow up on with you. Then ask for their contact information. When entering a group, approach and stand quietly for a second or two. 

Wait for a break in the conversation or for someone in the group to look your way. If no one looks in your direction and everyone continues the conversation without any break or glance in your direction, exit immediately with “excuse me.”  It is apparent they are in a heavy conversation, not choosing to invite anyone else into the conversation. The key to successful networking is to show you are interested in the people you meet. For the most impact, sending a personal handwritten note (by regular mail,) within 24 to 48 hours to every person you met and reconnected with at a networking opportunity is the best. Emailing and placing a personal telephone call is also appropriate, including writing or calling someone who has helped give you leads and referrals. Be sure to fulfill any promises you made to people you’ve met.
