Webinar: Steve Dalton on Follow up: how to turn new connections into job search allies

DATE: Tuesday 14 November 2023
TIME: 14:00 to 15:00 Paris time

Whether you are looking for a job, or trying to expand your professional network, lots of people don’t quite know how to follow-up after an initial meeting.

We want to stay in touch, but how do we keep the relationship going? How direct can we be? When can we ask about open jobs for instance?

Small decisions on how you communicate (or fail to) can make or break a job search or new relationship.

In this webinar, Steve Dalton, author of the bestselling job search guide, The Two Hour Job Search explains precisely how and when to follow up your networking meetings to maximise your chances of a job offer and cement your new relationship authentically and without awkwardness.

We will discuss:

  • Steve’s “Harvest Cycle” for following up quickly and gracefully
  • When (and how) to write a thank-you note
  • The one piece of content that your counterpart actually wants to read (hint: it is about them not you)
  • How to keep in touch with new contacts naturally
  • When you need to worry about reciprocating (and when you don’t)
  • What you need to understand about why people help you, and what they want in return.

While mistakes here regularly kill new relationships, done right following up can be the easiest and most fun part of a job search. And also the key to helping you stand out as a candidate.

BONUS content: all participants receive:

  • Access to the webinar and the chance to ask questions live
