That’s right, friends: after 4 years working in Key Accounts at Regus, while practising professional networking as another way of growing my network to close partnership deals and contracts, I’ve ended up working at the leading networking platform in Europe.
It was thanks to my former boss Thomas, who recommended I sign up to XING to find new contacts and close business, that I’ve ended up at XING.
I completed my profile, updated it with the highlights of my professional background, and the job offer came looking for me.
I didn’t have to buy the Sunday paper, sign up to the traditional job websites or call any headhunters: I simply clicked on a vacancy that matched my profile, sent my CV, and a few days later XING’s Country Manager called me for an interview.
That doesn’t mean traditional methods don’t work, but online networking is already here. I had the advantage of getting to know the people who were going to interview me by looking at their profiles and preparing my interview, and they, in turn, also got a first impression of me before meeting me in person.
The process was quick and I think I’ve made the right choice, as I’m passionate about marketing, business development and networking, so I’m in my element.
If you’re thinking about a move, update your XING profile, add a good photo and take a look at:
