• In your own words, define networking and it's importance in the job search process. Rate your current networking skills from 1 to 10 (1 is no skills, 10 is great skills). What is one thing you can start doing today to improve your networking skills?
• Consider the soft skills discussed in the text - communication, listening, responsibility, accountability, appearance, and positivity. Which of these do you think is your strongest and why? Which do you think is your weakest and that you could improve in? How will you work toward improvement?
• Review the hard faults discussed in the text - interrupting others, negativity/complaining, gossiping, and profanity/swearing. Which have you been guilty of doing? What can you do to avoid repeating the hard fault as you move towards greater professionalism?
