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.
Once you have completed the mind map, reflect on the experience by answering the following:
1.
Of the original six (6) contacts:
a.
How many were relatives? 3
b.
How many were friends? 0
c.
How many were business acquaintances? 3
2.
Which types of original contacts would be most helpful in finding job opportunities (if any) and why? Professional contacts such as former employers, colleagues, and business associates would be the most helpful in finding job opportunities because they have firsthand familiarity with your aptitudes, knowledge, and work ethic, making them more likely to recommend you for suitable roles or refer you to potential employers within their network. Further, they may have insider knowledge concerning job openings and industry trends, supplying valuable understanding and advice throughout your job search process. 3.
How difficult was it for you to expand your network by adding two (2) secondary contact to each of the original six (6)? It was difficult since I was instructed to start with family. I only have 3 people in my entire family who I would add as a reference for jobs. That is not to say I do not have several successful people in my family. I do. However, I prefer to prioritize professional contacts over family and friends
when it comes to job references.
