1

00:00:06,770 --> 00:00:13,320

All right cool so in this side by side we are actually going to start finding networking targets as



2

00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:19,290

we are looking for maybe informal interviews and connections with recruiters so why don't we just start



3

00:00:19,290 --> 00:00:20,710

with informal interviews.



4

00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:24,560

Let's say that we're looking to network with people in the gaming industry.



5

00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,170

Probably what I'm going to do is go up here and I'm going to search by people and then I'm going to



6

00:00:31,170 --> 00:00:35,550

use a couple of Boolean search techniques which you can check out in the other module but things like



7

00:00:35,970 --> 00:00:45,550

let's say gaming gaming and San Francisco.



8

00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,460

Let's just see what that comes up with.



9

00:00:49,330 --> 00:00:52,910

Call So there's lots of people in gaming here.



10

00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:56,750

Looks like these are Logitech.



11

00:00:56,750 --> 00:00:58,890

That's obviously a big company.



12

00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:05,120

Here's a game designer so we might as well might just go ahead and start opening these.



13

00:01:05,330 --> 00:01:09,170

These people let's say we want to get more into this game design type of thing.



14

00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:15,660

Then we can go ahead and see if there's any other people that are more in the designing side of things.



15

00:01:15,940 --> 00:01:17,180

So let's just go down.



16

00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:18,420

No not on this page.



17

00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:23,600

Try to get maybe two or three different two or three different contacts.



18

00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,380

This person might be a good person to contact.



19

00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:34,710

Let's see the global head of gaming a YouTube we can't access him because he won't see his name.



20

00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:38,800

This person would be a good general manager of gaming at Skullcandy.



21

00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:42,750

Here's Xbox from Microsoft so.



22

00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:43,480

Ok cool.



23

00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,640

So what I've done is you see I have right.



24

00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:50,750

I've held on the command key on the Mac as I clicked these people's names which means that I've opened



25

00:01:50,750 --> 00:01:56,720

up all these tabs so I'm going to leave this search field open here and then I'm going to actually just



26

00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:04,070

go down and while Mark might be a good connection to find what I can also see down here is that these



27

00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:09,830

people also viewed you really start to see that there's there's lots of people that you're that you're



28

00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:11,020

now seeing here.



29

00:02:11,030 --> 00:02:14,460

So here's a game studio director to open their profile.



30

00:02:14,750 --> 00:02:21,580

Here's a game developer here's a game designer multimedia games game designer game design.



31

00:02:21,590 --> 00:02:25,760

I mean look at all these people we've now found in game design.



32

00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:31,610

So some of them their settings are going to be different than others like you'll see here that Mark



33

00:02:31,790 --> 00:02:34,370

is not allowing us to connect with him.



34

00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:40,230

But then when you look at Mike he is so with Mike you can go ahead and make the connection.



35

00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,060

You're going to definitely want to send a personalized note.



36

00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:47,120

I would probably do something like Hi Mike.



37

00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:55,070

You look like an expert in the gaming and game design fields.



38

00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:57,140

I'm hoping we can connect.



39

00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:57,850

Ok cool.



40

00:02:57,980 --> 00:03:01,600

So actually the thing is you're going to probably send a personalized connection.



41

00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:05,640

You want to start with something kind of nice just to endear the person to your cause you know give



42

00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,580

them a compliment because you have mutual interests.



43

00:03:08,610 --> 00:03:13,870

I like using the word network here so you can say things like I'm just I'm hoping we can network.



44

00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,610

That's pretty unaggressive which is nice.



45

00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:23,870

I might actually change us up and say the field is extremely interesting to me and I'm hoping we can



46

00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,750

count on it.



47

00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:30,890

That's probably a nice message and actually what I would do is I would go ahead and cut open up or a



48

00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,180

open apple see.



49

00:03:32,210 --> 00:03:33,220

So just copy it.



50

00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:43,040

And now when you go through and you see Diana Joe Michael you know all these different people that you



51

00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:50,570

can here's Robin a person you can connect with that you can actually just go ahead and and basically



52

00:03:50,570 --> 00:03:57,620

paste copy paste this in and within a few minutes you should be able to send a lot of connection requests.



53

00:03:57,620 --> 00:04:01,970

I would probably just either use the pile use the friend selection here.



54

00:04:02,090 --> 00:04:06,120

So I'm actually not going to connect with them because you know it's not really trying to do.



55

00:04:06,170 --> 00:04:11,410

But basically you've seen the strategy so you find these people and then you can see on the side.



56

00:04:11,420 --> 00:04:16,700

All these other people who have very similar profiles and that's one way that you can target people



57

00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:24,890

for informal interviews or just for networking and you can start using the CC method connect chat meet



58

00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,230

and mushroom to start building your network.



59

00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,840

And for example the gaming industry I assume to shut these profiles down because you know how this works



60

00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:33,670

now.



61

00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,100

All right.



62

00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:35,490

And then we're going to try something different.



63

00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:38,960

Now what we're going to do is we're going to look up recruiters.



64

00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:47,390

So you might say Ghaemi and recruiter and so now you see you have a technical recruiter at Apple house.



65

00:04:47,570 --> 00:04:50,920

And then similarly you can go ahead and do this



66

00:04:55,660 --> 00:04:59,890

computerized gaming equipment and these are recruiters so there's another one.



67

00:04:59,890 --> 00:05:02,920

These were lucky that all these recruiters are open to connecting.



68

00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:07,660

So you can see you can send them a connection request but easily you can go here and send all these



69

00:05:07,660 --> 00:05:11,610

people connection requests that you might not be able to connect with.



70

00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:13,450

If you open up their profile.



71

00:05:13,450 --> 00:05:17,560

So any you've got a player out that a little bit but basically you're seeing now that within a very



72

00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,320

short period of time you can really build out your network in a particular area both by searching people



73

00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,200

that are good targets for informal interviews and also for people who are recruiters.
