Linked – Networking is a Waste of Time- Or Is It?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This is a new acronym to me, but I think it does make sense:

“Networking is about getting AIR. Networking can rejuvenate how you feel about your job or your job search the same way oxygen reenergizes your body. AIR is an acronym that stands for

  • Advice (career advancement, job search, career-changing)
  • Information (company, industry trends, news)
  • Recommendations (associations to join, books to read, skills to develop, people to talk to)”

What do you think? Does AIR seem like the way you’d like to network, online or offline?

Or do you read this article and still think networking is a waste of your time?

Linked: How to build a culture of cybersecurity

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This is the one thing I’ve talked about before when it comes to where we might fall short on our cybersecurity training, we don’t really hold anyone accountable.

Make cybersecurity part of formal employee evaluation. Give people a reason to care. Much like I talked a couple of weeks ago about creating a training culture, provide a way for people to learn more and to learn from others. Give them space and time to talk about security. Recommend they read some security blogs, meet to share stories about the latest phishing information out there, etc.
