I'm Andrew and I'm Scott. This production is meant to provide meaningful support to find great careers. Faster whether you're working king or not. Hey Scott did you know that today's episode is actually brought to you by the Anatomy of networking conversation. Really tell me more. It's actually an e book it can be found on our website at job seekers radio DOT com. That's amazing in today's episode. We're talking about maintaining momentum in your career earlier. This is something that we talk about networking because a lot of times people get into jobs on this has been true of myself. We get into jobs and then we think okay you know live. I got the job I wanted. There's lots to learn here. I I have so much to do. I'm busy and we don't network anymore. And so all those connections actions just sort of die on the vine and what. I've had to find out. The hard way is often in our careers. The the only way to truly maintain momentum is to keep that networking going not all of the connections. That I make for my future are going to be made in in the company. I'm working for right now so if I want a career that's going to expand and grow and whether that's moving up the food chain or that I'm I'm broadening the scope of what I'm doing. It's a lot easier to keep that momentum going if I don't stop networking we advocate that you take perpetually looking mindset mindset perpetually having your eyes open looking around always looking for the next opportunity not did you have to take it not that you have to find the perfect perfect situation. Although seeking is the fun the way to keep that as fun is to stop judging what you're coming up in front of you know whatever is happening. The different opportunities thirties that present themselves. If we're thinking oh well that one doesn't look good enough for that one doesn't fit well enough. We're actually limiting ourselves to the possibilities. Instead of we stop judging and we really look at what could bring us some enjoyment. Were far more likely to find them. Enjoyment loyalty is something that many companies talk about in many job seekers or employees look for does it really exist. It does in my point of view. It does but you have to be realistic. Mystic about how that actually happens because the company will be loyal to you until they don't need you anymore can't afford you anymore and for are and I'm using air quotes business reasons they let you go or they reorganize and lay people off whatever that might look like in the specifics loyalty he is great as long as it makes sense and too often I talked to people who feel. They have shown their loyalty to their company. And it hasn't hasn't been returned and I would venture to say and I haven't yet talked to any business owner or executive. Who would disagree with me that you are are? You should be loyal to yourself. I the company may or may not be able to show loyalty the way they talk about it and rather than spending your energy judging that be loyal to yourself yourself first. You're the only person responsible to cover your needs.
