Not Properly Introducing Yourself
It is really hard to introduce yourself, especially these days when a lot of people are unemployed. Draw attention to your interest and skills in order to take the conversation further. Engage your contact with questions, making the most of their time. Don't ask for a job at this point, you may scare them off. Also if they are in no position to give you a job, they can offer advice and their experience.
You Don't Know How to Work a Room or a Contact
Circulate among people, ask them a few questions. Get a card and don't feel embarrassed about moving on to the next person.
Criticizing Previous Employers
Think about what you are about to saying about your previous employer. It might sound different to someone who does not know your nightmare ex-boss. Stay positive and ready for work. Otherwise you may come off desperate.
Forgetting to say Thank You
Sometimes manners are overlooked when it comes to networking, but try to remember to thank them for their time and keep in touch.
