    Time for tonight's #DevDiscuss Twitter chat. The topic is NETWORKING (Like, humans getting to know one another, not the computer kind)
  • ThePracticalDev Mar 7 @ 9:00 PM EST
    Rules: - Stay on topic - ALWAYS use the hashtag #DevDiscuss - Be NICE/POSITIVE ❤️ - Quoting tweets for clarity is encouraged

    The key factor to any networking is that *both* parties benefit. Can smell 1-sided "networking" a mile away. #devdiscuss

    Got two in-person interviews thanks to networking. It got my foot in the door quicker than just sending out resumes and hoping #devdiscuss

    The success of my career being self-employed is thanks to networking. I've gone from seeking advice to being more of an expert. #DevDiscuss

    How do you prepare for a networking event and make the most of it during and afterwards? #devdiscuss
  • jmdembe Mar 7 @ 9:36 PM EST
    Before the networking event, make an attainable goal for what success after the event looks like. Ex: get 1 business card #devdiscuss
  • twarnock Mar 7 @ 9:36 PM EST
    If there is a talk, MAKE YOURSELF stay after. It's the hardest thing to do though... #DevDiscuss

    I try to make Twitter friends with folks at networking events. If we don't become Twitter friends, did we ever even meet? #DevDiscuss
  • jayrav13 Mar 7 @ 9:36 PM EST
    Study up on who may be there & decide what an ideal convo w/ppl or reps of orgs would look like #devdiscuss https://t.co/89g1DsXwfX
  • jmdembe Mar 7 @ 9:37 PM EST
    Or if you have a hard time breaking the ice, find someone that you know who will be at the event as well. They can help! #devdiscuss
  • jayrav13 Mar 7 @ 9:38 PM EST
    By the latter, I mean are you looking for opportunities, looking to learn, simply expand network, etc. #devdiscuss https://t.co/89g1DsXwfX
  • soniagupta504 Mar 7 @ 9:38 PM EST
    Get to know people because you like them, not because you want something from them. Build your network before you need it. #devdiscuss
  • twarnock Mar 7 @ 9:38 PM EST
    Usually the people that stay after a talk are the ones that want to chat anyway, so it's a bit self-selecting #DevDiscuss
    In reply to @ThePracticalDev
  • jmdembe Mar 7 @ 9:39 PM EST
    Also, I don’t go into a networking events saying “Hi, I’m looking for a job!”. I know people are drawn away from that. #devdiscuss
  • jayrav13 Mar 7 @ 9:39 PM EST
    more generally, try and stay through the entire event regardless! Agree, difficult to do many times #devdiscuss

    Do "networking" aka interact with people ongoing, not just when you need a job. Meaningful connections come much easier that way #DevDiscuss
