Remembering Names and Having Others Remember Yours!

Are you bad at remembering names? That is a problem - especially if you are networking for a job or within your industry. Do you go to large networking events and leave without really remembering the names of the people that you met, and then see them a week later at another event and feel awkward because you don't remember their name? More importantly, do people leave those events and remember your name? In this CareerFYI Career Coaching Podcast, Marti Muller discusses ways to overcome both of these problems. Why does this matter? Well, if you don't remember someones name, the chances of them looking favorably upon you (i.e. deciding to give you a job) are slim. Better brush up and improve in this area!
