Give Your Way Up The Ladder - Without Burnout

[Joywtseo421]

The concept of "giving" as a job search and career advancement strategy isn't new.

Becoming memorable - indispensable even - to your network through giving back is considered networking done right.

Networking, after all, is really built on creating and nurturing real relationships with others, and when you can give to others you create goodwill that will come back to you eventually.

But you may be wondering: how it's possible to give so much without becoming depleted?

You already have so many demands on your time and energy.

How can you go around connecting with and giving to every person you know (and to taiwan phone number library new people you don't yet know) as a way to build up goodwill that may (or may not) translate into benefits for you in the future?


Giving Sustainably
"Giving burnout" happens when demand on your time, energy and mental space is overloaded and causes the openness you'd like to give with to shut down.

Any giving done beyond the point of giving burn-out is done with resentment. It doesn't feel good to either the giver or the receiver.

Giving burn-out can be prevented by giving less, but when you're on the hunt for a new job or to expand or use your network for any other reason, giving less doesn't seem like the right approach.

Another way to be able to continue giving and networking effectively that will still leave you intact is to give what you already love to give.
