It's Not About Who You Know, It's About Who Knows You

Networking: It's Not About Who You Know, It's About Who Knows You

Here are great ways to get the people whom you want to recognize you to offer you the positions you want and the salary you deserve.

Many people intrigued as to how successful people got as far as they have. The answer is that they had a sickening work ethic.

As a job seeker, if you want people to recognize you (which is the only way to achieve what you set out to), write a solid beBee profile with a flattering picture, begin to write stories and start a blog with your work on beBee Producer.

In the end, you want people who Google your name to find positive information about yourself and the best way to do so is to begin writing.

Be Aware! Somebody Is Googling You! https://www.bebee.com/producer/@juan-imaz/be-aware-somebody-is-googling-you by Juan Imaz

The best way to get recognition for your work and become the "person to know" is to find a job you love and begin that position with the mindset that you are going to fight hard enough to become the best at what you do.

It seems like all our parents and teachers focus on when we are growing up is the importance of building what we know, but they never once touch on the importance of building who we know. Why did they put so much emphasis on us learning, rather than building connections and a network?

It seems like who we know is just as important as what we know, if not more important

Don't get me wrong, "what we know" is still very important. The more we learn in school and through our experiences the better. But don't Forget Who You Know. Connections are as important as skills. The right connections can help anybody take their businesses and/or careers to the next level in many different ways.

How to Build a Network

Anyone can build "who they know" as long as he or she can communicate with other people in one way or another.

beBee is a platform where you can put your resume and your passions in front of many recruiters, but it also allows you to personally connect with millions of professionals all around the world.

beBee also gives you an opportunity to connect to other professionals in a similar field of work - or in a common professional and/or personal interest - by simply messaging them, even if you have never spoken to that person before.

You are a vibrant, amazing person -- much more than what's on your resume! How do you get your passion and power across to employers?

beBee enables you to build a list of possibly valuable connections, even if the platform is more about socializing than networking. Sites like Facebook, Twitter and many others also give you the ability to meet people who may be able to give you your next big break. The Internet was designed to make it easier to connect to other people.

beBee - Professional Engagement through passions https://www.bebee.com/producer/@javierbebee/bebee-engagement-through-passions-english-espanol

Don't forget meeting people in person. From classes to clubs, to sports and special events that are designed specifically for people to come together and network, the opportunities out there are endless.

Personal interests, passions and hobbies are a great way to build better and deeper professional relationships.

Why entrepreneurs benefit from having an integrated online presence https://www.bebee.com/producer/@javierbebee/why-entrepreneurs-benefit-from-having-an-integrated-online-presence

All you have to do is be brave enough to introduce yourself to new people, and be disciplined enough to put the effort into building and maintaining the right relationships.

Whether it is online and/or in person, we have the opportunity to build our network.

Share Your Branding Via BeBee

Hunting and applying for jobs online is frequently frustrating and fruitless. The best way to search for jobs online is to become "the hunted" by developing a strong online personal brand. LinkedIn is currently the largest network to build your online presence where you can showcase your talents. beBee is a fast-growing network for building your holistic brand of personal and professional interests. - Larry Boyer, Success Rockets LLC by Larry Boyer, 🐝 Brand Ambassador

I'm with Robert Cormack. The whole idea of re-inventing yourself kinda smacks of a bit of self-loathing. Plus I'm not sure that it's even possible. Being all that you can be by putting out the best thoughts you have is all that can be expected of anyone. If you do that consistently, you will see that a certain number of people will pick up on that, and a whole lot won't. But it's not a zero sum game. It's just a game that moves at the speed of life. Patience, persistence and hard work are what's required. People will form their own impressions of you that will make your brand what it is. Some things can't be engineered but have to happen organically. The development of a strong persona or brand, is one of them.

The theme I really like is about developing an "integrated online presence". If you truly have a strong personal brand you have an integrated presence and you exude that same brand everywhere you are. I also love that beBee recognizes different platforms for difference purposes. It's important to have a primary hub to operate from and use the others to augment. beBee has set itself up to be that hub.

Before re-inventing, comes creating oneself. Take your time, breath deeply, write about it 20 minutes a day, the whole week long. Brainstorm with peers and ask them how they see you. takes notes, some expressions might be precious and uselful in your (numerous)baselines on your differents social media accounts. Segment who you want to connect with and make them your targets - primary (40%)- secondary(20%) - others (combined %). Launch your branding campaign 1)objective 1 - get to be exposed 2)get to be known for at least 3 useful reasons to be engaged with ! Be structured. At for the road. Do not ever give up !

Pamela \ud83d\udc1d Williams of course u are right 100%. Anyone with good will & intents, can re-invent herself/himself. Only people with no talent at all or no imagination , with like almost zero skills cannot be -1) creative -2)inventive -3)positive , cannot reinvent themselves . BeBee branding tool ? certainly yes ! LinkedIn branding tool yes ! facebook branding tool, etc...yes+ yes +yes. Branding belongs to Marketing. And marketing are sciences & tools. believe in yourself matters, more than opinions. Opinion is not branding. Opinion deals with a)positive ones =popularity b)negative ones = claims & continuous detractors.

Great post and a lot of essentials statements Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee. LinkedIn is necessary to feed the results and give something to snack for recruiters. They are doing their job. Screening you. If you are not prepared of have put together a solid branding, portfolio, showcases, all the sections in fact (for that LI is really well built) you just do not interact with the very same purpose why you are on LI. Getting hired ! It will remain, i humbly think the largest recruitment database in the world. LinkedIn pulse is a sub-product and will be very useful if you have something to say, or write. Now LinkedIn demonstrated that it is not a free , nor an open platform, it is meant for business & recruiting. You want to get visibility in from HR people, pay for it ! Brand building has a cost. And everyone should consider that...budgeting. So Brand Building, isnt free of efforts, knowledge, skills, and..costs. beBee would be a better version tool to give the opportunity to see how we behave online, what do we post, what do we lead as constructive & proactive initiatives. I was 23d LinkedIn influencer in my country, now that i use beBee, i have daily offers and it doesn't mind where i stand in terms of ranking or views or followers.What matters is that beBee changed the game: ENGAGEMENT with serious motivated hiring managers, project holders, investors, peers & new team mates. affiliates, business developpers...and this all over the world.

We should all be a little careful about "reinventing ourselves." I see posts that are obviously influenced by something they read here. Being influenced, being inspired is fantastic. Just remember that writing like them, or taking on the same topics isn't reinventing yourself. Always be you. Everyone else is taken.

Excellent advice. And - here's one thing to add: Explain the "Why" as Simon Sinek explains in his TedEx Talk and book. . . . then watch the follow-up called "Building Trust" https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VdO7LuoBzM

Javier, A while back I stumbled into something that has become a bit of a mantra for me. "What you know is important, Who you know is significant but the single most critical element in building a brand, a reputation or a business is who trusts you." That discovery is why I have spoken on three continents and why my clients are all successful. It is quite common to hear that, "We do business with those who know, like and trust us." Getting to trust is critical. Knowing how can be learned. BeBee can be a way to build that trust.

Thanks Louise Smith for tagging me to this buzz and to your buzz on analysing the headline of this buzz. I agree with your analysis. Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee knows what he writes about and is based on his personal experience. I agree with the attraction of the title, but also more with his emphasis on we need both who w know and what we know. No question about the validity of this thinking.

Excellent points Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee. I like the idea of meeting people in person, even if someone isn't in the market for a job, one never knows if the time will come that they need to reach out to others. It's also a lot of fun to meet new people!

Thanks for another brilliant buzz, Javier. You make many excellent points, as usual. I would just add that it's also about who you get to KNOW WELL and vice-versa. There are several level of "who you know" and the majority of them are usually through superficial connections. But proactive networking means really getting to know people on a personal level and establishing a bond of trust, accountability and accessibility. And while this is possible online in the virtual world, it's always more effective getting to know people in the real world. I recall John White, MBA producing honey on this topic. Thanks again, Javier. The buzz is growing louder worldwide!

Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee: A structured write up on the concept of branding and networking! Platforms such as beBee or Facebook, helps the entrepreneurs to promote their brand on digital platform. And all the bees would be thankful to you for creating such a platform, which can boost up the networking! The bees are responsible for their branding startegies whereas beBee supports the networking concept! It's like this platform acts as a support or backbone of the entrepreneurs, in a way.
