“Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.”

–Dr. Denis Waitley

Let’s assess how you rate as a fearless networker in a job search. For example, how consistent is your behavior?

Be honest now. No one will see this but you. No one is grading this. A promotion is not riding on your score. There are no right and wrong answers. So let’s get an honest appraisal of where you are right now.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 is excellent and 1 is awful), circle a number that best describes you as a job networker at networking events.

I leave my resume at home and seek to develop a personal connection:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7        8        9        10

I am confident and assertive when working a room and making connections:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7        8        9        10

My self-perception and self-confidence is high in spite of my job loss or transition:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7        8        9        10

I seek to build a relationship before delving into my job search spiel:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7         8        9        10

I focus on helping or contributing to the other person first before talking about my own needs:

1        2        3        4        5         6        7        8        9        10

On a daily basis I count my blessings and not my troubles:

1        2        3        4        5         6        7        8        9        10

I stay active through part time work or volunteering:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7         8        9        10

I have written goals for every area of my life (job/career, financial, health, spiritual, Family, social) and am active in pursuing them:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7        8         9        10

I reach out to others to make a connection and am not just a card-exchanger:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7        8         9        10

I provide quality referrals on a consistent basis to my network associates:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7        8         9        10

Face-to-face networking is a major part of my job/career search (At least 70% of the time):

1        2        3        4        5        6        7        8         9        10    

If you rated yourself 8-10 in your response for all 12 statements then you are a fearless networker.
