PD 202 Unit 5 Network Mind Map Activity
Instructions:
As discussed in Unit 5, approximately 85% of jobs are filled using networking. There are many ways you can organize your network. One way is through the use of a network mind map. The mind map presented here is a basic one that begins with six (6) current contacts. To expand your network, brainstorm two (2) additional contacts you might be able to make through each of those first six. Complete this Network Mind Map (on the next page) by adding names for contacts or organizations that you can use to build your network in each of the boxes. Your finished mind map will have 18 potential contacts you could use to find and get a job.
