How to improve your professional networking skills?
Networking is one of the key secrets of getting hired, whether you are looking for employment as a fresher or considering a midlife career change. According to many career specialists, professional networking is the make-or-break aspect of job hunting. But does networking really matter that much? And if so, how to network in the right way? Read this article to get the answers.
What is Networking?
In simple words, networking is the process and steps that you follow to develop professional and social contacts. The development occurs through the exchange of information and ideas. People often confuse the idea that networking should only be done to get hired. In reality, there are far more useful and impactful uses of networking than to just get hired.
Whether it’s a career advancement aspect or getting a new perspective, networking can help you find the solution to different issues quite easily.

How professional networking skill can help your career?
As we were saying, the scope of networking is not limited to getting hired alone. In today’s word, the work-processes of diverse sectors and industries are being managed and influenced through professional networking, connections and metrics.
Networking helps you to stand out of the bunch. Having someone to vouch for you, or someone who understands your skills in a particular field can be of better help than a piece of CV.
Professional referencing is a common thing practiced in the big organizations. Someone with proven skills and reliable references will always hold the upper hand. Nowadays, most organizations do not believe in taking chances; rather they want to hire somebody who can deliver equal or more in return for what they are paying.

The implications of networking go far beyond than getting hired. For example, creating a connection with one of your industry leaders will give you better industry insights than others. You can hardly find information about such practical intricacies in Google or data banks.
For instance, when you experience an issue regarding your employment or business, a highly experienced and knowledgeable person in that field might mentor you in the best way to overcome the problem.
When you put things into perspective, the benefits of having robust and relevant networking are limitless. We mention the term “relevant” here because not everyone will generate value for you.
While networking, it does not matter whether they are your senior or sub-ordinate. What matters is whether they have the potential for value generation. As long as there’s a mutual benefit at play, networking is always a good option regardless of the industry.

Digital Haat and more Qurbani Cow online shops targeting Eid-ul-Azha in Bangladesh
With the digital revolution in Bangladesh, online shopping is on the rise. By doing this, people are saving time as well as getting the product of their choice while sitting at home. In today's busy world and the Covid-19 pandemic situation, going to the market to buy and sell cattle has become a huge hazard. That is why the cattle market in Bangladesh targeting Eid-ul-Azha goes online. However, selling cattle online during the Eid season has become a norm for the last few years. But it got focused on last year due to the pandemic.
Previously, different online platforms and private organizations were involved in selling cattle online. But this year Bangladesh government has taken the initiative named 'Digitalhaat' for the online cattle market.

What is Digital Haat?
Digital Haat is mainly an online marketplace to buy and sell cattle online during the Eid-ul-Azha. However, it also remains active around the year. Due to the pandemic, Digital hats have been organized since last year. However, this year it is expected to get a massive hit. Last year, 27,000 cattle were sold, and this year the government has a target to sell more to sell one lac animals this year.
The e-commerce association of Bangladesh and Bangladesh Dairy Farm Association are implementing this year's digital haat under Dhaka North City Corporation as per the directions of the Ministry of Commerce.
However, it is mainly organized by Dhaka North City Corporation, but dwellers from other areas can also access it. Apart from this, other municipalities of the country will be able to use this platform if they decide to go online. The good thing about buying cows and other cattle online is that you can save time as well as you don't need to 'Hasil' either.
Read Digital Haat 2021 launched with target to sell 1 lakh cattle before Eid
How does Digitalhat Work?
It works like another e-commerce site. Sellers can list their cattle with the description, which will be visible to the prospective buyers.
If you are a buyer, you can check the cattle under different categories. You can sort the animals as per individual seller and the farms and other online marketplaces. Furthermore, you can talk with the owner or the organization if you like any cattle. You will find the phone number under the seller's name. Moreover, you will find all the related information with the advertisement.
However, if you select any cattle from any e-commerce site, you can pay online and get your cattle. The e-commerce will not get the payment until they deliver it; that is how your payment remains safe. The government will ensure it through the escrow system. Once you order and make the payment govt. Will hold it for you and release the payment after you receive the goods.

Apart from ordering cattle, you can also book a slaughtering service. From last years' experience, online butcher booking has been arranged in this year's market. A maximum of one thousand animals will be sacrificed in the slaughterhouse. From there, the meat will be delivered to the buyer by 26 air-conditioned vehicles.
Live animals or meat, whatever is delivered, will be priced by the seller. No separate charge can be taken from the buyer in this regard. However, the buyer will have to book the slaughtering service by July 10. E-Cab will settle any disputes between buyers and sellers.
Digital Cattle Market in Different Districts around Bangladesh
The online cattle market is getting popular in different parts of the country. Due to the lockdown, physical cattle markets might not be allowed. Hence, the online market is the only solution. With that note, many districts have been adopting online haat culture.

How to Restart Your Career after a Break?
Getting back to work or restarting your career after a break is not an easy task. People might take career break for numerous reasons. For instance, many women put a long gap in career after giving birth. During the pandemic many people fell sick for months and were obliged to take career breaks. It's not impossible to get back where you left off. There are a lot of factors to consider restarting your career. You need to have a specific strategy based on your industry. However, some general rules apply to everyone. Let's have a look.
10 Strategies to Get Hired after a Career Break
Understand your situation
Situational awareness is an important aspect. You shouldn’t jump right off to the first job you get. Many people jump to the first offer they get without assessing its suitability and growth opportunities. It's better not to conform yourself to a role you might not be sure about. Instead, you should take your time and search for jobs that are relevant to your expertise and industry. That way you won't have to compromise your choice as well as growth prospects.
Include the break in your CV
Many people look at breaks as a career drawback. As a result, there’s a strong urge to hide the break from potential employers. We don’t recommend this at all. You should include the break in your CV. Rather than considering it as an issue, think of it as a step back and re-evaluation prospect. You might have genuine reasons like raising a kid or personal shortcomings. You might have even picked up new skills during the break. The key point is, show your break with appropriate reasoning. It will not hamper your career prospect going forward.

Networking
This is another aspect that many people don’t utilize enough. Realistically speaking, there aren’t jobs lined up for you to take right away after a break. Therefore, you need to utilize the existing connections that you might have. Try to reach out to your old friends, colleagues, and/or relatives, who are working in the same industry. Look for opportunities for new opening. Many companies do internal recruitments based on recommendations. Try and generate leads from your connections. You can also use your network as a reference for potential positions.
Prepare for the Interview
You should prepare an impeccable answer regarding your career break. It is quite unavoidable that you will be asked about it. You should highlight the genuine reason and explain how it helped you to improve yourself as a person and a professional. If you are a working mom, you have a valid enough reason to take a break as it is. The key here is to portray the break as an essential part of your development process. If you can successfully convince them, then there’s nothing standing between you and that job.
Read How to ace a Job Interview?
Perform a skill audit
This is a self-evaluation aspect that you should focus on. While you were on break, the world had moved on. There might be new and improved skills on-demand in your industry. You need to find out where you stuck among the rest. Try to evaluate, whether or not you know the in-demand skills. If you are confident in your skills, then there’s nothing to worry about. If not, we suggest you try and develop the lacking skills first. It's better to dive into job hunting being prepared. This will increase your chance of getting hired.

Brand yourself
Self-branding can be an important key to get hired right after a career break. You need to put yourself in social networking sites to get noticed. Have you been doing productive things during your break? If so, highlight them on your work-related social media like LinkedIn. You might have even done community service or social work. These might look irrelevant at first. But the key here is to showcase that you haven’t been sitting lazy. The point is, whatever you did, showcase them for the potential employer to see.
However, when you took break for sickness or personal issues it is a different matter. Don’t worry! Try out the other strategies.
Audit your industry
People tend to make the mistake of not auditing their industry enough. As a result, several scenarios might occur. First of all, you might not get any job offer. Secondly, there might be offers that aren’t relevant to your skillset or are far below your expected level. So, what should you do then?
You should perform an industry audit to get insight into the latest development. Basically, you need to catch up with the happenings around you to stay up to date with your industry. This will give you a comparative advantage regarding when to apply and what to consider before applying.
Read:Effective tips for hunting jobs during pandemic
Find some part-time or voluntary work
What if, you have a long gap in your career? The transition to a full-time job from a break isn’t easy. Potential employers are always skeptical about hiring candidates with a long employment gap. However, that shouldn’t deter you in any way. The curve might be a bit steep, but it's not something that you can’t climb. We suggest you to get involved in some sort of part-time jobs and/or voluntary works when you are struggling to hunt your desired job. This will make a good impression on your CV.
Change your track
You can always consider a fresh start coming back from your break. If you are someone who’s not happy with the industry you’ve worked in previously, now is the time to make the switch. Going on a break gives you the time to reflect and reassess your priorities. You can always reconsider making the switch given you have a separate skill set. If not, you can always start acquiring them before you get into job hunting.
Read:Considering a Career Change? 10 Questions to Ask Yourself
Don’t give up
This is the final step. Don’t give up no matter what. Things are going to be challenging to say the least. But you should stay strong in the face of adverse situations. Sooner or later, you will find yourself back on track. Just trust yourself.
Final Thoughts
So far, we have discussed some effective ways to re-launch your career after a break. Coming back from a break and finding an instant footing is no simple task. However, it's not unattainable as well. As long as you follow the steps above, you should be able to find a relevant job without much worry.

Read:Considering a Career Change? 10 Questions to Ask Yourself
Qualities of an Ideal Employee
They Take initiative
The ability to take initiative is a crucial aspect of leadership quality. A business might not have the ability or the resources to spoon-feed every aspect to its employees. Smart and efficient employees don’t wait to be taught. They take charge themselves and get going from the start. An effective employee finds and devises ways to bring organizational growth instead of being complacent.
They are ambitious
Work is just a 9 to 5 routine for most employees. But an efficient and smart employee doesn’t limit his goals to the usual routine. While most employees might not have a long-term goal for the future, an efficient employee will always eye for advancement. Ambition defines the strength of character of the employee as well as their perseverance to achieve excellence. It might not look much initial, but an ambitious employee will be greatly motivated by his desire to climb the ladder.

They show Leadership
An efficient employee manifests leadership attributes in everything they do. We mentioned taking initiatives before. In reality, taking initiative is just one of the attributes associated with leadership qualities. Their ability to quick thinking and tackling tough situations easily makes them an important asset for any organization. When it comes to the management of an organization, it's important to focus on the qualities that will increase organizational proficiency. And leadership qualities are one of its important pillars.
They can fit in
An employee is also a colleague. So naturally, they need to be a team player. An ideal employee shares the same vision and motivation as their colleagues to work for the betterment of the organization. Since this is a person you will be working with day in day out, they have to be a cultural fit to your organization. A smart and efficient employee would easily blend in with his or her environment and create an amicable atmosphere for their employees.
Read:Effective tips for hunting jobs during pandemic
They show a positive aura
A person's demeanor says a lot about them. Joyful and upbeat people are not only good at their work, but they also promote a positive aura among their peers. It's normal to have burnout from work. However, an efficient employee would show easy recovery from burnout and deal with each failure positively. The ability to be persistent even in the face of failure translates to better output in the future. Needless to say, these employees are an asset and their traits are something that an organization can greatly benefit from.
They are honest
Regardless of whether the employee is efficient or not, one thing that is a must in every employee is their honesty. An honest person would naturally be inclined to give their all for the organization. Beyond anything, an organization needs honest employees who will be unfazed in every situation. Whether or not they can contribute much to the organizational growth, they will at least keep the organizational integrity intact.
Read Perfect Resume: 12 Effective Tips for writing professional CV
They are detail-oriented
Attention to detail is another important aspect. Not just for employees, rather every human should try to cultivate this trait. An employee is expected to be tasked with a lot of work. That is how a normal job works. But does that provide room to make errors? As much as it doesn’t, in the end, employees are still people. But as long as they are detail-oriented and are willing to focus better, it's always better for the company. Attention to detail ensures that there are no unwarranted issues that might slouch the progress.
They are good listeners
We would like to classify this trait within the leadership quality as well. An efficient employee will always focus on what others have to say. Listening to others not only gives them a wider perspective on a matter but also helps to build up relations which are important in an organization. It also helps to avoid any sort of miscommunication within the organization.
Read:How to be a Confident English Speaker?
They influence others
This might seem ominous at first but rest assured, it's also an effective trait of an efficient employee. Ensuring personal growth alone won't ensure the growth of the organization. An employee might be highly smart and efficient but if that doesn’t resonate through the organization, the growth won't be significant. The ability to influence others helps the employee to bring out the inner best of others as well.
They are critical thinkers
An effective employee always thinks critically. They give every aspect a rundown before concluding. Decisions made in haste or with insufficient perspective often cause the downfall of an organization. An efficient employee doesn’t leave anything to chance and holds sufficient data or information to back up their call.

They are Marketable
We are talking about an employee who is eloquent and knows how to grab the attention of the client. Marketing is obviously one of the key aspects of any organization. A marketable employee is a good presenter. An employee should be able to present themselves as well as the vision of the company to the clients in a persuasive manner. This trait goes a long way to ensure the growth and marketability of the company.
Bottom Line
There are a lot of traits that define an efficient, valuable, and talented employee. It's not easy to list them all here. However, we tried to highlight the most significant ones that catch the eye at first glance. If you are an employee looking for your next break, try and focus on these qualities to stand out from the crowd.
