On Networking
Networking at UN
How many people would I be able to know in a year(which I am going to spend at UN)?
Based on my past experience, I will know about 100+ as acquaintance (I would be acquainted with and did recognize them by their face value), 30-40 as friends and 15-20 as good friends who I can network with for future.
So let’s now do some quick calculations and recheck
On an average we meet 30-40 new people every day in the mission area. Of these 15 are locals who you will never see again. Of the rest 25, 10 international staff will not meet yo again. Of the 15 left another 10 will not remember you when you meet them next. So the take away is 5 new people who will continue to remember you and acknowledge your existence when you meet them in future. 5X365= 1825. of these 1825 even if 1% become more than your acquaintances about 20 sound friends in one harsh year should be quite ok.
Even if I know atleast these 20 gals/guys well by the end of the year , I would consider it as a success. Networking is important and its a important support system for whole of our lives...
Hope that I really get to know each and everyone out here...........
