| | | Career Tip: Networking at events doesn't have to be hard | The folks at Outbrain, the web advertising platform, supplied us with today's tip of the day on networking: - Andrew Furman, svp sales, North America: "Don’t just aggressively hunt down the folks you have identified as high priority. Meet as many people as you can by participating in discussions, asking questions during panels, being early for breakfast and staying out for drinks. Naturally, you will meet the folks you identified and many more that were not even on your radar.”
Sarah Baird, vp, account strategy and operations: "At a recent event, I attended another participant who wore a pin on their lapel that indicated they are passionate about reading. It gave me something to talk to them about and to warm up our conversation. I love this idea for someone who is just starting to attend networking events."
