<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Marc Cenedella&#8217;s full bio</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>Marc Cenedella is the founder and chief executive officer of  TheLadders.com, the world&#8217;s leading online marketplace for $100K+ jobs  and $100K+ job seekers.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Marc started TheLadders.com  in 2003 to make finding a professional job a lot easier, and  transformed the way $100K+ candidates and recruiters connect online.  With a membership base of 3.5 million, TheLadders.com job search and  recruitment model has been embraced by executives and employers alike,  with the company ranking #1 for overall satisfaction in an independent  survey of recruiters.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>TheLadders.com has received  numerous accolades including the 2009 Webby Award for Best Employment  Website, 2009 Best Companies to Work for New York, 2009 Silicon Alley  Award &#8211; Most Likely to be Worth $1 Billion and &#8220;Best of the Web&#8221;  designations by BusinessWeek and Forbes.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Marc is a  populist scientist of employment. His passion in life is jobs, their  sociology and culture: the process by which everyone passes from family  through school and into a career. It&#8217;s the second most-important thing  in people&#8217;s lives, after love and family and as a result, the subject of  jobs itself is Marc&#8217;s chosen devotion in his professional life. A  widely recognized thought leader on job search, career management,  recruiting and business, Marc is frequently sought out by national media  outlets and organizations for his expert commentary on employment and  entrepreneurial related issues.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Prior to founding  TheLadders.com, Marc was the senior vice president of Finance and  Operations at HotJobs.com, where he orchestrated the company&#8217;s $436  million sale to Yahoo. Previously, Marc was an associate vice president  at The Riverside Company, a New York-based private equity firm.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Marc holds an MBA with high distinction from Harvard Business  School, where he was named a Baker Scholar (top 5% of class). He earned  his B.A. in political science at Yale.</em></p>

<p>This week, New York is being hit hard by the snowstorm.  But we are really pleased with the turnout at <a href="http://www.ny-entrepreneur-network.com/calendar/12375287/" target="_blank">Tuesday&#8217;s event</a>. <span id="more-2336"></span>Being a big social media advocate, I&#8217;ve done a <a href="http://vimeo.com/9348776" target="_blank">short interview</a> with one attendee and uploaded the clip to <a href="http://vimeo.com" target="_blank">Vimeo</a> to share with everyone. <a href="http://twitter.com/jckhewitt" target="_blank">JC Hewitt</a> is a young entrepreneur and a great networker.  I&#8217;ve had a thoroughly productive discussion with him the other day about social media and entrepreneurship.  See the video below.  I&#8217;ve also created a photo album which you can see in the following.</p>
<p>You can go to <a href="http://www.ny-entrepreneur-network.com/" target="_blank">NYEBN&#8217;s website</a> to find out more information about the group.  We welcome professionals from diversified industries and backgrounds. Currently, we stick to the routine of hosting at least one event per week.</p>

We host efficient networking events for our members, and such events typically take place on a very frequent basis. I’ve watched quite a few networkers over the <a href="http://www.ny-entrepreneur-network.com/calendar/past_list/" target="_blank">last few months</a>, some successful, some discouraged.</p>
<p>Networking is fun and should be something you look forward to.  If you are going to attend an event like ours <a href="http://www.ny-entrepreneur-network.com/calendar/12057919/" target="_blank">with hundreds of people attending</a>, and engage in conversations with as many of these people as possible, you might as well enjoy yourself while doing it.<span id="more-2325"></span></p>
<p><strong>First, let’s look at some definitions of networking:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mirriam Webster, date: 1967</strong><br />
<em>1 : the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups, or institutions; specifically : the cultivation of productive relationships for employment or business</em></p>
<p><strong>And a more up-to-date definition from <a href="http://dictionary.com" target="_blank">Dictionary.com</a>:</strong><br />
<em>1. a supportive system of sharing information and services among individuals and groups having a common interest.</em></p>
<p>Networking in the ‘60s might have meant finding people to sell to, but the concept has evolved to mean creating an infrastructure of people and relationships.  If you go to <a href="http://www.ny-entrepreneur-network.com/calendar/" target="_blank">our events</a> with the idea of immediately finding customers for your business, you are going to be sadly disappointed.</p>
<p>Let’s start with the things you should do.  Before you go to an event, do whatever you need to do with yourself, such as the correct tie, the perfect blouse, etc. so that you have no attention on yourself or your appearance.</p>
<p>When you arrive, do the following: don’t think about you; put all of your attention on the person you are talking to; repeat the above.  If you really listen to the people who are talking to you and let them know it, then you can easily begin a relationship based on good communication.</p>
<p>Here are the things you should <strong>not</strong> do: put your attention on yourself and what you do; hard sell.</p>
<p>We’ve all endured the hard sell guys – the guys who are convinced that if they really got through to someone, that person would buy their service.  Personally, I think of it as being accosted.  If you try this technique you will find that not only will a sale not be made, but people will avoid talking to you from that point on.</p>
<p>How do you network? Walk up to someone, introduce yourself, ask what they do, request a card and move on.  If someone should ask what you do, keep it short.  Make notes if you want.  If you connect with someone, enjoy the conversation.  Otherwise, keep moving.  It is as simple as that.</p>
<p>We all know that ultimately the reason you attend these events is to get new business.
