When solving any important issue, most people seek advice from friends and acquaintances. Friends will advise a good doctor who will be attentive to your problems. Getting a job by acquaintance is much easier than competing for a vacancy. The more connections in the right circles, the easier and more enjoyable life. It is not difficult to acquire useful connections, you just need to take a closer look at the people around you.
Instructions
Step 1
Think about what you know about your friends, neighbors, distant relatives. Do you remember where they work and study, what are their hobbies? Do you know about changes in their life? If you haven't spoken for a long time, be sure to remind about yourself. There are no people who are more useful and less useful. Anyone can come in handy at some point in life.
Step 2
Write down regularly all the memorable events of your friends and acquaintances. Be sure to congratulate your right people on the holidays. Don't get away with the standard email greetings. You will not spend a lot of time and effort to sincerely and unconventionally congratulate a colleague on the promotion or a friend on the birth of their first child. The more attentive you are to people, the more pleasant you will become known. And a pleasant person is helped much more often than a gloomy hermit.
Step 3
Sign up for hobby clubs, take part in corporate parties, professional development courses, and professional trainings. Don't give up attending art exhibitions or charity auctions, even if you're not into art. After all, there you can make new useful acquaintances or strengthen old connections.
Step 4
Make a card index of all the people you know personally. Enter there information about the person's occupation, family and friends, addictions and hobbies. Do not forget to enter new information in time or correct existing ones. Human memory is imperfect, and thanks to your notes, no one will be left forgotten and unclaimed at the right time.
Step 5
Use the power of the Internet. Make acquaintances on professional and thematic forums, actively suggest friendship on social pages. But try to filter your connections on the Internet, because on the Internet a person may not be at all who he claims to be.
Step 6
Respond to requests for help if you can help. Most people will gratefully repay you in kind at the right time.
