If you’re an introvert, you might dread networking events. You’re not alone – introverts make up a large portion of the population. And while it may be easier for extroverts to network, that doesn’t mean that introverts can’t network effectively. Networking is critical to success in any field, and it can be especially daunting for introverts and extroverts alike. The good news is that there are ways to network effectively no matter your personality type.
For introverts, the best way to network is typically through email or other written communication. You can also deepen existing connections by attending networking events and listening more than you speak. It’s important to be visible, but don’t force yourself to be the center of attention. Extroverts, on the other hand, should never stop networking. You can make connections easily and quickly, so take advantage of that by being visible and outgoing. The key is to be intentional about your networking and make sure you follow up with people after meeting them.
