Are you going to be the antagonist who just refuses to go with the flow or are you going to schmooze your way around? Obviously, the latter is a much better choice if you want to achieve any kind of success. When you play your social skills cards just right, you can make any event a chance for you to boost your career. Why do this? Well, people are just as hungry for fame and success as you are. As soon as you join the corporate world, you’ll see how wild the jungle actually gets. Untamed lands aren’t just found in countries. The city can be just as unforgiving. While this isn’t an excuse to pull other people down, you also have to grab the opportunities when they come your way. You often have very limited contact with the big honchos. Aside from asking them to sign a document or two, you don’t really get the chance to just talk about anything else besides work. You may not even be on the radar as most companies have to deal with hundreds or even thousands of employees. When you do have a party, thank him for the event with a simple but warm handshake. This may be such a simply gesture, but it would mean the world to you. Now isn’t the time for you to air out all your complaints and grievances. There’s a time and place for everything, and parties aren’t one of them. If your boss has a spouse, this is also your chance to say him to them. Your supervisor’s personal life is very important to him and when they see that their partners have taken a liking to you, they can’t help but take a second and closer look at who you are and at what you can do. And because this is a partnership, mention how the event is going well. You can do this without going overboard. So, give a brief compliment and mingle with the others. You also don’t want your colleagues to think that you’re just spending a good portion of your night trying too hard. You can even do this with the group your boss is with. Just give them a smile and show them how well the evening’s going. As important as it is to spend some time with the big names in the industry, you also need to make time for clients. Without them, there would be no company to speak of in the first place. Hanging out with the one that helps the company in an informal setting is one of the best things you can do. Ask a colleague or your team to join you. Be welcoming and try to talk about other things besides work and money. When a client feels pampered, he or she is more likely to stay loyal to the company. More importantly, your bosses will appreciate you for it as well. Just know when to back down when they do talk to someone else. With these tips, big events will be something that helps boost your career.
