Fostering Fruitful Connections - The Use of Networking for Professional Development
As a member of the administrative staff at WU, you provide certain services to students, scientists and colleagues in other departments. In order to be able to operate successfully, good contacts are often helpful both to the people you are helping, as well as to relevant managers and colleagues. This network of grown relationships offers professional support, advice and information in your daily work. The right internal and external network contacts and collaborations can facilitate work processes, additionally, by encouraging and motivating you. In short: a functioning and vital network can increase joy and satisfaction at your job.
A prerequisite for successful networking is an appropriate balance between giving and taking. Therefore, a clear objective is necessary. The best contacts are worthless if you are not sure for which purpose you need your contacts. On the other hand, your counterpart should be clear about the benefits s/he would receive from cooperating with you. The clearer these benefits and targets are defined; the more direct a contact person is able to respond to your concern, offer information or make relevant suggestions. Such a joined experience may become a starting point for further cooperation.
