If in doubt, attend events that are showcased through trusted institutions – for example, the British Library’s Business and IP Centre. Approach networking like a job interview. Take business cards. They don’t have to be expensive to be charming either. Focus on quality, not quantity.

  What can you put in place in your business to make sure that the event coordinator has a fantastic time working with you? This past Monday, Michele Price interviewed me on #SpeakChat. Make sure to have a process in place to itemize expenses & bill promptly after the presentation & provide receipts as needed.

You dont have to have an expensive satchel, but get one that is clean and streamlined. While you may know enough to mute your phone during an interview, you also cant even look at it. If you carry coffee or a drink with you into an interview, its a distraction and can make you appear too casual. Dont play with your phone.

Interviews for new employees should be no longer than 20 minutes and some sample interview questions such as asking a candidate to describe a typical day at his/her last job, or describe when you went out of your way for a client can help to increase the 51% chance of choosing an outstanding employee.

I have my offline business and that does well. I’d like a website, but I’m having a hard time justifying the expense.&# That new shirt is supposed to make you more successful at the job interview. For most of us, a Web site is as essential as a business card or that first cup of Java in the morning.
