OK, so I know everyone always stresses the importance of networking. And networking is a very, very good thing to do. However, if you have just moved to a new city and people aren't asking you to go to happy hours of Capitol Hill receptions with them after work, you probably are trying to figure out exactly how to network.
The best way to network is by joining an organization. If you are living in a more populous area (ex: Washington, D.C.) there are literally hundreds of organizations you can join. Here are some examples of organizations you can join:
- A casual sports team: I know a LOT of people who play kickball on the national mall weeknights after work or on Sundays.
- State Societies: Most states have a state society in Washington, D.C. These organizations are designed to link people with others from their home state, and people often find new jobs through these networks.
- Alumni Associations: Most schools have some sort of alumni organization in most areas of the United States. It is always nice to get in touch with people you may or may not have known while in college.
- Volunteer: There are all kinds of different things to volunteer for. You can volunteer to help with a walk for a cause, at an orphanage, or Habitat for Humanity.
- Professional Organizations: It is also fairly simple to look online for an organization for people in your professional focus. Some examples are Young Nonprofit Professionals, Women's Information Network (which leads you to endless other organizations), and the Public Relations Society of America. Here is a list of professional associations to check out!
If you are nervous about joining one of these organizations on your own, see if one of your friends or colleagues will join with you! Chances are you will have a lot of fun doing it!
