NEW PRINTABLE: Secondment Contacts
New Printable: Secondment Contacts
When on secondment make sure you maximise your networking opportunities and keep on top of your network/contacts.
Make sure you speak up and join in with things. Don’t spend your secondment being the mouse in the corner or with your head down all the time. Make the effort to get to know people. If you don’t get to know others… they won’t get to know you. Secondments (regardless of whether they are internal or external) are great fact-finding missions – they should be utilised as much as possible.
All the usual internal networking rules apply…
- take part in social or sporting events
- don’t have lunch at your desk – lunch with different people and get to know them better
- don’t just mix with the other interns – spend time getting to know the full-time employees too
- Smile (it makes you more approachable)
- introduce yourself and talk to different people to learn more about the company
If you don’t have a Networking Planner this printable can be used to keep on top of your contacts from your secondment.
