A pro-Israel “surveillance network” that has offered bounties for information on pro-Palestinian protesters is establishing a foothold in Australia and claims to have secured meetings with key federal politicians, leaked messages show.

Shirion Collective, which has largely focused on the US and UK, boasts of its ability to scrape digital fingerprints to “aggressively track and expose antisemites”. It is one of a number of groups that have gained prominence on social media during the Israel-Gaza war, publicly naming individuals it accuses of being antisemitic.

Shirion Collective claims it has an AI tool called Maccabee which can identify and track targets.

In one post on X, Shirion outlines a scenario in which the tool creates and releases deepfake videos – falsified content that looks and sounds genuine – to embarrass individuals who take down posters picturing Israeli hostages.

On its X account, Shirion Collective has claimed to offer bounties of US$500 for information on people in videos. In a December post it claimed it would pay up to US$15,000 for “crucial insights” about politicians, US$7,500 for medical doctors and US$250 for students.

Leaked screenshots of Shirion’s Telegram channel, shared with Guardian Australia by the White Rose Society, an anti-fascist researchgroup, show Shirion has become active in Australia, with participants identifying potential targets and boasting of attempts to meet the home affairs minister, Clare O’Neil, and the shadow home affairs minister, James Paterson.

Anonymised Shirion members discussed presenting O’Neil and Paterson with a list of names to ensure they were “brought to justice according to the rule of law”.

“Need help. We managed to get into home affairs calendar, need to come prepared with people with hate speech and names that the government didn’t held [sic] accountable,” one anonymous user said.

“Meeting with Clair [sic] or her stuff [sic] … we also have a meeting with the shadow minister.”

Both O’Neil and Paterson’s offices said they had not met anyone who identified themselves as part of Shirion Collective.

The leaked texts show people on the Shirion channel discussed adding the names of individuals to a “watch list” and mass reporting posts on social media.

Some Australians whose social media accounts were linkedin the channel had shared antisemitic, racist and conspiracy theory content on social media. Others were pro-Palestinian activists who do not appear to have posted or shared antisemitic content.

When contacted via its social media accounts, a Shirion member describing themself as the “social media guy” said the “Ai is a quiet project with an internal team”.

The Shirion member said “bounties were for info and was in the USA not Australia”. The member said Shirion’s Telegram channel was open.

“The telegram [sic] is open and we do a soft verification that people are real. But freedom of speech is welcome there,” the Shirion member said.

The member said they would refer Guardian Australia’s questions to a “commander” but no further response was received.

Shirion Collective is one of several groups that say they track and fight antisemitism, largely through identifying individuals online.

Canary Mission, which has been operating since at least 2015, maintains lists of students, professors and other individuals on its website who it claims “promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews”. Another prominent account on X, StopAntisemitism, shares the names and employers or academic institutions of individuals, and often directs its more than 298,000 followers where to make complaints.

The leaked posts from the Shirion Collective Telegram channel point to some publicly available material its contributors regard as antisemitic, but also discuss creating “infiltrator” accounts to view and share material from private Instagram accounts.

In the leaked posts seen by Guardian Australia, contributors do not reveal personally identifiable information about any individual that is not publicly available.

The Shirion Collective account on X/Twitter has identified people it alleges have posted antisemitic material, or statements in support of Hamas, and tagged in their employer or academic institution in the case of students.

Naming someone online is not necessarily illegal, but Michael Bradley, a managing partner at Marque Lawyers, warned there were potential implications depending on the nature of the claims, such as harassment and intimidation or even racial vilification.

“Using social media as a mechanism for coalescing groups that want to engage in doxing activity, it’s obviously extremely powerful,” he said.

Last month, a Sydney resident named Theo had a picture of his house and his street address posted to a Facebook group.

Theo, who asked that his surname not be used, had raised a Palestinian flag and placed a blackboard with messages critical of Israel in front of his Botany home.

Less than two weeks later, a ​​jerry can with rags stuffed into it, a disposable lighter and large bolts were placed on the bonnet of his car with a message that read: “Enough! Take down flag! One chance!!!!”

The incident prompted the deployment of the bomb squad and local police.

The investigation has not been transferred to the counter-terror investigators and remains with local police.

Femme Fatale Guide: Top Career Tips To Set Yourself Up For Success

Figure out where your skills and passions align. Then determine the lifestyle/work culture you thrive in and what sacrifices you're willing to make in your chosen career path (for some, it's always traveling/talking to people 24/7, working late hours, unpredictable/unconventional hours, potentially lower pay/less predictable income, etc.). It truly depends on your top values, your personality, and your goals/priorities in life.

First focus on getting incredibly talented at your craft. Find a mentor(s) who will push you with their feedback/suggestions. Take classes/skills courses/read books & articles to gain more applicable knowledge/hard skills. Join clubs, apply to internships, volunteer, and request informational interviews in your desired field.

Make your skills marketable. Create a professional resume and/or neat portfolio/collection of work samples. Discover and articulate your USP (that should essentially serve as the backbone of your elevator pitch). Frame your skills through a customer/business-centric lens. How does your experience/skillset solve their problems and help a company/client achieve their goals?

Build a network for yourself. Don't be shy to reach out to companies/individuals who inspire you. Speak with your secondary school teachers and professors for connections. Create peer-to-peer networks, too, so you can grow together. Be a fearless networker and connector. Help others, do favors, and make the person glad they met/hired you. Make it your objective to be memorable through your work ethic/providing high-quality work products and showing up with a motivated & overall positive attitude allows people to like and trust you with their time, clients, money, etc.

Master the art of a killer email/cold pitch. Especially in today's world, learning how to sell yourself through intriguing emails/LinkedIn messages is the key to unlocking potential success. One client or opportunity can create momentum that will be useful years down the line, too.

When in doubt, follow up – on an email, pitch, job opportunity, connection, etc.

Be ruthless and relentless with your research. For new contacts, connections, opportunities, and information to support your pitches/job interviews/networking conversations, new technologies, and trends within your field. Read everything credible you can get your hands on. Display working knowledge and practical applications of these concepts and how they can benefit the person in front of you/their business.

Create systems. For how you structure emails/pitches, conduct research, different types of workflows/ work template structures for different types of projects, time-blocking, client funnels, etc.

Get comfortable with rejection. Use it as a primer for self-reflection and refining your craft/processes or help you pivot your approach to help you achieve your goals. Never take business decisions on behalf of a company personally (and vice versa).

Give yourself breaks, but don't give up. Tapping out for good is the only surefire way to fail at an endeavor. Be flexible in your path, but zeroed in on your goal(s). Learn when to quit or pivot, and when it's time to coast or seek growth.

How do you ACTUALLY network? Like the idea of a coffee chat always baffled me. Like a stranger would agree to get coffee with me for me to essentially interview and then what? I guess my bigger question is how do I provide value to them besides buying them coffee? And the whole concept just feels cringe and transactional

I’ll give you two recent examples, one of work and one of a social event.

A friend invited me to a party. I don’t know said friend very well, but we’re on good terms. I said yes cause why not.

I met a girl there who happened to do some very interesting things and had similar interests to me. How did I find that out? I asked her about herself, I found out where she was previously residing, I learned what she did for a living, and I began associating it to the things that I do. She’s from the same city that I want to move to, she now lives 20 minutes from me, and she’s interested in spirituality. My work happened to organise a similar event a week later, which I immediately invited her for. I asked her for her number so that I could send her the invite.

What she immediately liked about me and expressed, was that I don’t use social media, when we agreed to exchange contact info. I explained to her that I’d have to connect her on iMessage/ WhatsApp and not instagram. That allows us to stay in touch much better than on social media.

I left the party earlier than everyone but I looked for her and told her that we should catch up next weekend or whenever she was free. She agreed.

So this is what you learn from example 1:

1. Learn to associate.

When someone tells you that they work in XYZ company, in B city, start by connecting things in your head. Who else do you know works in the same field, could they know each other? What do you know about the work that they do, and if you don’t know much, can you find out more? Most people, including myself, love to talk about what we do at work and what our job entails. Has their work allowed them to travel a lot? If yes, where?

In order to associate, you need to read a lot and learn a lot. You have to understand what’s happening in the world, what the latest news is, because how the hell are you going to continue that conversation?

2. You have to snowball the conversation. The goal is to try and understand WHO this person is. If someone asks you, have you met CSB and you have, you should be able to say yes, this is what she’s interested in, this is what she works in - you should be able to pitch CSB to another person.

Not every single conversation has to be valuable. You also have to decide whether the person in front of you is worth your time.

3. Exchange numbers, not social media. Nothing is going to come out of exchanging instagram or LinkedIn.

4. When you’re leaving the event, look for the person you met and tell them that you’re leaving and that you guys should catch up sometime. If you haven’t exchanged contact info yet, that’s the best way to do it. “Oh let’s catch up again soon! Can I have your number? We can grab a coffee or drink whenever.”

—-

Example 2. I’d gone to a conference a few months ago. I met a young guy, around my age, who works in an accelerator. I’m very interested in the start up world, and he’s working in one of the best ones in the world, at a decent position. He immediately began telling me about recent funding that they did, what sort of start ups they’re looking for, etc. I asked him for more information, which he was super happy to talk to me about.

We’re on very good terms but we live in different cities. I often send him reports because I work in media, and he sends me PDFs and pitch decks. Whenever we’re in each other’s town, we message each other. Otherwise, I make it a point to reach out to him once a month, just casually, to find out what’s happening.

Takeaways from example 2:

5. Scratch each other’s backs. You can’t just get value from the other person, provide them with the same. It doesn’t have to be work related. Let’s say the person you’ve connected with is interested in indie music and you learn that an indie band is playing somewhere - send them a link to the event and tell them that you remembered that they like this genre, and you just wanted to share the info.

6. What’s important to learn is maintaining relationships. I reach out to all my mentors, all my latest connections once a month. That doesn’t mean that I’m necessarily going to meet them face to face, but I just check in and ask how things are going.

So.

Approach. Associate. Snowball. Exchange info. Maintain.

[kimbertmusings]

I have a lot of friends I’ve found and made on TikTok, and we’ve shared discord servers for a while now. I’ve offered to teach them about tumblr.

I’ve always diversified my social media, because different apps were for different things and moods.

It does not escape me that the apps where I interact with people who know me irl, like coworkers and family (aside from the folks I’ve met online and then they became my irl friends) are the platforms that are worrisome and I want to leave.

People and family knew me on Twitter (fuck X) and I closed it.

People and family especially know me on Meta products, and I am going to be shutting that down in a week or so. I need to leave my contact info for folks to get ahold of me.

Family knew I was on TikTok, because my son was for his drag stuff.

The only platforms I am going to keep where coworkers, local friends, and family know me: LinkedIn and Goodreads.

LinkedIn because it the best way to find a job in my industry. I love my job now, but you never know. I only open the damn thing once a month or so.

Goodreads because I NEVER open it. It’s automatically tied to my kindle, and I read unhinged shit. I like the shock factor.

The stuff I’m keeping: tumblr, Bluesky, discord. These three kind of all tie together, and absolutely no family is involved.

I’m keeping my Reddit, but it’s its own isolated thing. I have a randomized username, and I share with no one.

I’ve never posted on YouTube or twitch, so I’m not counting those as social media.

I figure my family and local friends have my phone number. They no longer get unfettered and instant access to my life.

Ohh the beauty of their dreams!!!

Here is a snippet from chapter 5 of The Beauty of Their Dreams!

I had to take a break from this fic before and after the presidential election just for my own sanity but it will be updated in December!

Martin.

As it turns out, like it always is in the District, Daniel and Max have a mutual connection. Not just any mutual connection because there are many as they’ve learned after careful comb-throughs of their connections on LinkedIn, but a mutual connection in their social lives.

Seb, who hates using his own social media, had spent hours going through their social media and contacts before landing on the name of one Mr. Martin Garrix.

Grew up in New York going to the same schools as Max before their paths diverged after high school – Max to college and Martin to the DJ scene. But despite everything, they had remained close friends and still saw each other often enough to be pictured by people around the District.

While childhood friends with Max, Martin had met Daniel at some party in Ibiza years ago when Daniel was still in undergrad and on a boys’ trip for summer break. They had reconnected more recently at some DC club when Daniel was hooking up with the Vice President’s Deputy Chief of Staff.

So the story forms.

Martin is brought into the fold and gives them the necessary background should anyone question how they met.

“So you two are actually doing this?” Martin asks when he’s over at Max’s for drinks and games.

“I need a spouse and political connections, ‘If not a Kennedy, then a Ricciardo, or better yet get both’ has been the go-to motto for every Democratic presidential campaign,” Max replies.

FULL NAME — pauline stockard-bardsley. FACECLAIM — margaret qualley. GENDER & PRONOUNS — cis woman and goes by she/her pronouns. AGE — 27 years old. OCCUPATION — cashier @ carnal knowledge; "assistant manager" mumbled and shmumbled at whoever asks @ the black box (local venue); occasionally an onlyfans creator. NEIGHBORHOOD — cardinal hall. LENGTH OF TIME IN BLUE HARBOR — a year since her return; she had been in blue harbor very briefly when she was seven years old and moved away two years later.

if you ask paulie, she’d probably tell you she doesn’t recall her early life having a specific point of origin. she’d say that because her mother’s an absolute narcissist.

what paulie wasn’t conscious for in her life, eileen bridgers tells long, dramatised tales about. mostly to pass time in their long rides between towns as they got away from questionable-at-best boyfriends and potential step-fathers. a repeating cycle that revealed that as much as eileen was prone to lying, she was even more susceptible to being lied to right on back.

her mother dreamt big dreams but never applied herself in anything, only wished for a soft life that she never got with her taste in men and dragged pauline right along as her mini sidekick. they led a very thelma-and-louisesque life with a handful of situations that frankly a child-aged pauline or eileen herself should not have been through but hey, many lessons learned. lot of 'em about survival — and soft serve scammery.

at one point in their grand ole' tour in the states, they'd landed in blue harbor, where eileen and pauline had found a home in a man named ryst.

now, trusty rusty was nowhere near the idealized man eileen envisioned for herself, but he made do; had a decent place in weaver ridge, an honest job and some savings though eileen begrudgingly ended up picking up a job at the diner to contribute in funds and better yet, he didn't mind paulie. if anything, he cared for her heaps and paulie had found a father figure in him. things seemed okay for a while. steady, until eileen started getting the itch - and it got physical, her cruel way of demanding better living conditions.

to paulie's surprise and utter heartbreak, it took longer for something to go wrong that time, for eileen to want more or for rust to grow resentful or maybe figure a lie out or two, but even then he was willing to work it out. eileen didn't so they moved away and left rust behind.

tw death implied / paulie's life went by faster by that point. more places to be, her resentment for her mother cementing slowly and then fully when eileen finally met someone to her tastes. someone who paulie never respected for being stupid enough to not see through her mother but then her mother changed, too. a grieving man with a motherless daughter in a proper suburb somehow struck a chord madame scammer u.s.a, and eileen became a good mother for once. pauline, to this day, refuses to believe it. / end tw

she managed to go to college to major in linkedin and then dropped out a year in - much to eileen's disapproval - opting to stay home & picking up a few odd jobs until it got too suffocating. until she became a bad influence on her step-sister, until she reminded her mother too much of what she was.

haunted by her old life, feeling isolated in her own new home, and seeking the one proper parental figure she had in her life, paulie took off to blue harbor to find rust in hopes that he was waiting for her all this time. unfortunately, she was met with confusion and misplaced bitterness that soon eased off - there's still love, not much trust that she won't take off again, though - but she couldn't stay at his place. a surprise little shit (begrudgingly affectionate) of a son had her room now but they kept close contact and he even found her a job in until she was good on her own. an oxymoron if there ever was one.

abuse (financial and physical) implied, coercion implied, toxic dynamic tw / moving out and on her own meant pauline needed a better paying job. she juggled two at carnal knowledge and ablusement and made good money on onlyfans until enter vlad — not a real name, certainly a real person in her tired peripherals sometimes but it's good for her heart to pretend that he isn't. briefly put: a messy involvement masked as an offer for a better paying job: an 'assistant' at his mumbled line of work that deals with underground gambling at the black box venue in town and she promptly agreed. it got harder to say no to vlad after that. a lot of maneuvering around further offers of 'assistance' now that she knew the larger implications to a man like that, but she still works for him. he's paying! end tw

personality wise: paulie's clever with some wit to spray at people (60% street-smart but mostly mouth smart) (see: absolutely can and will be annoying). has her deep-seated insecurities and is crass. she isn't easily trusting but isn't entirely aloof either. feels strongly which she doesn't like, gets easily overwhelmed and deals with that and many of her problems very poorly. prone to panicking in very specific situations but she swears she isn't. a victim of routine at home and a bit of an agoraphobe; really doesn't allow people in her space (for various of reasons, one major reason to do with vlad. see: panic induced behavior) but loves being at other people's spaces. loves! - here for a good time, i don't know about a long time-[muted]

Hi Eleni, I love your blog,you built it with love, respect and dedication. Just an clarification and 2 questions for you. First, for what I know Christian Marquand and Dominique Sanda never married. In fact, I haven't seen any pictures of them together. I think they had a brief relationship, if not a liasion or encounter (one night stand). I haven't seen photos of him with his son. Of course I can be wrong. Questions: of what did Frédéric Pardo die? Where I can find more pics &info of Theresa?

Hi Anon, thank you for your patience! I'll ask your questions in this post, and I'll try to go by person you asked, I hope it's well explained, and don't worry, I'm not English neither :)

Frédéric Pardo was born the 7th February 1944 and passed away the 19th December 2005, he died of lung cancer. According to this site (GENEANET) he married Dominique Sanda the 20th September 1976 in Saint-Ouen-Marchefroy, 28260, Eure-et-Loir, Centre-Val de Loire, France. They had no children and they divorced some years later as Frédéric met Thérèsa and married her in the late 70s and they didn't have any child neither, so Frédéric Pardo had no children but he had some nephews as he had two brothers.

Frédéric Pardo and Dominique Sanda pictured in June 1978 (Photo by Jean-Jacques LAPEYRONNIE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images).

And if you look at Dominique Sanda's profile in this very same site, you'll see that she and Christian Marquand, as you said, never got married although they had a kid. According to this site, they had a liaison in 1971 and Yann was born in 20th April 1972. Yann is an actor and, assistant director.

Yann Marquand pictured in 1977. (Photo by Jean-Jacques LAPEYRONNIE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images).

And finally here you have two photos of Thérèsa Pardo taken in 1984 during her modelling days:

These two photos are taken by Peter Beard and can be found at ARTNET site.

You have a little more information about Thérèsa (and a tiny photo) at her LinkedIn profile and finally, I've been searching for Thérèsa Pardo's pictures and the site I see there are more photos of her is Getty Images website. In this editorial images website, you can see some great Thérèsa's photos where you can see that she has blue/grey eyes!!

Thérèsa Pardo pictured in Summer 2020. (Photo by Foc Kan/WireImage).

Well, I think I don't forget anything to answer you, but if I did, contact me again and I will make this post longer.

It's been a pleasure answering your question, and thank you very much for your kind words about my blog!!

Eleni :)

Nick Bosa and his new girl please

So we were tipped off about two girls. A blonde and a brunette. The blonde contacted us, let us know Nick liked a photo of her from a few years ago and that she was not dating him, never dated him, and didn't want to be involved in this. We were able to verify her identity because she was able to tell us everything about the photo we saw.

We had someone else reach out about the brunette. This was a lot more sus though since they told us her name and her nickname, but also said Nick didn't follow her but liked her posts, how they met in a club in Boston, and that the girl was smart and also worked as a part time model. We pulled some snoop reports and he hasn't liked any photos of anyone, we did linkedin searches for the girls name and the field we were told about, and could not find anything. Also the username that tipped us off was the same as the nickname the girl has.

So we don't believe either girl is the one he's supposedly seeing.

We also find it suspect he's posting this on a finsta, considering he was liking and commenting on Lauren's posts with his actual username.

But, we can't verify so do with this intel what you will.

[stephenstrange-md-phd]

Did something tremendously satisfying!

Had this incredibly misogynistic guy who's a brother like figure to one of my colleagues! Posts disturbing amount of misogynistic posts .... And by disturbing I mean very very disturbing even by 3rd world country standards....like how he posted that modern women deserve to get r*ped and die for wanting to go out past 6pm against their dad's wishes ......So he doesn't post on any other open social media but on his WhatsApp where he has close contacts just as misogynistic as him.... And my colleague who's equally misogynistic now , would SS and re-post his thoughts on his WhatsApp! I hated that guy for long long time... But I never called him out on public instead started SS those things and he had all his contacts saved by full name... So this has been going on for about 3 years.... For some reason I've kept the SS of some of the most disturbing posts.... Idk why.... I'm a very busy person andi don't dwell with degenerates but for some reason I did..... Cut to 2 months ago I met the colleague and his so called brother and found out he had recently joined a company, and was engaged in an arranged marriage....

I did something.... And I'm not at all remorseful of it.... I connected with his boss overseas on LinkedIn.... Left an anonymous tip ! With all the SSs ....

He's overseas training program was cancelled, and he was fired ! Heard the girl's dad called off the wedding ....

hi, idk if you answered this before, but how did you manage to become self-employed by 24? also any career building tips in general?

Hi love! Well, I'm nearly 25 now (Leo baby here, lol) and have been self-employed since around 21/22 full-time. I would say the main factors at play are a combination of starting my career as early as possible (first real internship in the fashion industry at almost 16 and starting freelancing at around 19), earning a full scholarship to a top private university, and freelancing throughout college allowed me to have a lot of time and freedom to work on my skills, build my networks/portfolio, etc. (I'm not going to discount all of the privileges and resources I've had working in my favor, including the ability to begin my postgrad life with zero debts, that would be disingenuous, for certain).

In terms of career advice, I would say here are some of my most important tips:

Figure out where your skills and passions align. Then determine the lifestyle/work culture you thrive in and what sacrifices you're willing to make in your chosen career path (for some, it's always traveling/talking to people 24/7, working late hours, unpredictable/unconventional hours, potentially lower pay/less predictable income, etc.). It truly depends on your top values, your personality, and your goals/priorities in life.

First focus on getting incredibly talented at your craft. Find a mentor(s) who will push you with their feedback/suggestions. Take classes/skills courses/read books & articles to gain more applicable knowledge/hard skills. Join clubs, apply to internships, volunteer, and request informational interviews in your desired field.

Make your skills marketable. Create a professional resume and/or neat portfolio/collection of work samples. Discover and articulate your USP (that should essentially serve as the backbone of your elevator pitch). Frame your skills through a customer/business-centric lens. How does your experience/skillset solve their problems and help a company/client achieve their goals?

Build a network for yourself. Don't be shy to reach out to companies/individuals who inspire you. Speak with your secondary school teachers and professors for connections. Create peer-to-peer networks, too, so you can grow together. Be a fearless networker and connector. Help others, do favors, and make the person glad they met/hired you. Make it your objective to be memorable through your work ethic/providing high-quality work products and showing up with a motivated & overall positive attitude allows people to like and trust you with their time, clients, money, etc.

Master the art of a killer email/cold pitch. Especially in today's world, learning how to sell yourself through intriguing emails/LinkedIn messages is the key to unlocking potential success. One client or opportunity can create momentum that will be useful years down the line, too.

When in doubt, follow up – on an email, pitch, job opportunity, connection, etc.

Be ruthless and relentless with your research. For new contacts, connections, opportunities, and information to support your pitches/job interviews/networking conversations, new technologies, and trends within your field. Read everything credible you can get your hands on. Display working knowledge and practical applications of these concepts and how they can benefit the person in front of you/their business.

Create systems. For how you structure emails/pitches, conduct research, different types of workflows/ work template structures for different types of projects, time-blocking, client funnels, etc.

Get comfortable with rejection. Use it as a primer for self-reflection and refining your craft/processes or help you pivot your approach to help you achieve your goals. Never take business decisions on behalf of a company personally (and vice versa).

Give yourself breaks, but don't give up. Tapping out for good is the only surefire way to fail at an endeavor. Be flexible in your path, but zeroed in on your goal(s). Learn when to quit or pivot, and when it's time to coast or seek growth.

Hope this helps xx

The number of times over the years that people I hooked up with that I met on dating apps were later suggested to me as possible LinkedIn contacts is… not insignificant.

modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options

How to Make Business Networking Work for You

In today’s competitive business landscape, effective networking is a vital skill for professionals looking to grow their careers, expand their connections, and unlock new opportunities. While networking might seem daunting at first, mastering it can lead to long-term success and growth. In this comprehensive guide, we outline actionable strategies to make business networking work for you.

What Is Business Networking and Why Is It Important?

Business networking refers to the process of building and nurturing professional relationships to exchange information, advice, and opportunities. A strong network can open doors to collaborations, partnerships, and career advancements. It’s not just about collecting contacts; it’s about fostering meaningful, mutually beneficial connections.

Steps to Build an Effective Business Network

1. Define Your Networking Goals

Before diving into networking events or reaching out to contacts, it’s essential to have a clear purpose. Ask yourself:

What do I hope to achieve through networking?

Who are the key individuals or groups I need to connect with?

How can I provide value to others in my network?

Having clear goals will help you focus on the right opportunities and avoid wasting time on irrelevant connections.

2. Leverage Social Media Platforms

In today’s digital age, social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and even Instagram are powerful tools for networking. Follow these steps to maximize your online presence:

Optimize Your Profile: Ensure your LinkedIn profile is professional and up-to-date. Use a high-quality photo, write a compelling summary, and showcase your achievements.

Engage Regularly: Comment on posts, share relevant articles, and participate in discussions to demonstrate your expertise.

Connect Strategically: Reach out to individuals with personalized messages explaining why you’d like to connect and how you can add value.

3. Attend Industry Events

Industry events such as conferences, trade shows, and seminars provide excellent opportunities to meet like-minded professionals. Follow these tips for success:

Research in Advance: Identify key attendees or speakers you’d like to connect with.

Prepare an Elevator Pitch: Be ready to introduce yourself concisely and effectively.

Follow Up Promptly: After the event, send a personalized message to the people you met to keep the conversation going.

4. Join Professional Organizations and Groups

Becoming a member of professional organizations or industry-specific groups can help you gain access to valuable resources and connections. Whether online or in-person, these communities often host networking events, workshops, and forums.

5. Build Authentic Relationships

Networking is not about superficial interactions; it’s about building genuine, long-lasting relationships. Here’s how to cultivate authenticity:

Listen Actively: Show genuine interest in the other person’s background and experiences.

Offer Value First: Share useful insights, resources, or introductions without expecting anything in return.

Stay Consistent: Regularly check in with your contacts and offer support when needed.

Overcoming Common Networking Challenges

Fear of Rejection

It’s normal to feel hesitant about reaching out to new people. Overcome this fear by focusing on the value you bring to the table and approaching networking as a learning experience.

Time Constraints

Busy schedules can make networking feel like an additional burden. Set aside specific times each week for networking activities, whether it’s attending events or engaging on social media.

Maintaining Connections

It’s easy to lose touch with contacts over time. Use tools like a CRM or even a simple spreadsheet to track your interactions and set reminders for follow-ups.

The Role of Follow-Up in Networking

Following up is a crucial step in networking that many professionals overlook. Here’s how to do it effectively:

Be Timely: Send a follow-up message within 24-48 hours of meeting someone.

Personalize Your Message: Reference your conversation to show you were paying attention.

Offer Value: Share an article, resource, or introduction that aligns with their interests or needs.

The Power of Giving in Networking

The most successful networkers are those who focus on giving rather than taking. When you help others succeed, you build trust and goodwill, which often leads to reciprocal opportunities. Whether it’s offering advice, making introductions, or sharing resources, being generous can elevate your networking efforts.

Measuring the Success of Your Networking Efforts

To determine if your networking efforts are effective, track the following metrics:

Number of New Connections: How many meaningful relationships have you built?

Opportunities Generated: Have you received any referrals, job offers, or collaborations as a result of networking?

Personal Growth: Are you learning and growing from your interactions with others?

Conclusion: Take Action Today

Making business networking work for you requires a combination of strategy, consistency, and authenticity. By defining your goals, leveraging digital tools, and fostering genuine relationships, you can unlock opportunities that propel your career or business forward.

Recruiter here! I’m based in the US and I know recruiting practices vary by country so maybe my advice won’t help but here’s what I’d suggest:

1) always apply! You never know what could happen or how flexible the manager could be. A lot of times people are not in a rush to hire unless there’s a deadline to be met (or it’s a sales position)

2) put the expected end date of your program on your cv/resume, it’ll be a clear indicator of when you could start

3) is there a recruiter listed on the posting? Feel free to reach out to them on LinkedIn with any questions! We don’t bite and it shows that you are interested in the role. If the recruiter is not listed, check if there’s a recruiting contact or info box somewhere.

4) if you do make it through to interviews, my guess is you’ll start out with a phone screen with the recruiter - they’ll usually talk through some logistics so that neither the hiring manager or candidate waste too much time if logistics aren’t right. They should be asking you when you can start/informing you the timeline the manager is looking to hire someone, discuss compensation (if legal where you’re applying), expectations of the position, etc. We don’t want to put you through the interview process if you can’t start in a certain time frame, are asking for more money than is budgeted for the role, etc

omg this is so nice of you, thank you for taking the time to type it all out 🥺 it's definitely helpful too!! I'm a huge self doubter but I know I need to get over that if I want a job
