Networking Made Easy (15 SIMPLE TIPS to Becoming a Networking PRO!)

[@gym_tonic]

Just recognized you earlier this week. Your videos are really well done and it's easy to stay with you for the whole 15-25 minutes. 2 tips for your videos: 1. Please do a max of 1 jump-cut per minute, it's really annoying, 2. i would recommend you to film from a little more behind the desk (maybe like in your "A Day in the Life of a Goldman Sachs Analyst"-video). Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Flo! Great feedback taken on board :)

Couldn't agree more and made a video on just that, Networking On LinkedIn :) I share some pro-tips for using the platform and how to connect with new individuals. Hope it helps to level up your LinkedIn game.

Congratulations on reaching nearly 3K subs! This video was really helpful to find out networking from the perspective of an experienced professional - a LinkedIn masterclass would be a perfect follow up to this video.

[@AfzalHussein]

Thanks! Great idea! Added to the list :)

[@jourdanbolivarnavarro5835]

Amazing work . I just found your videos a couple weeks ago and i started following since then .. you should a video naming different courses that you took back in the days for improving yourself or books you read ... keep the amazing work

[@AfzalHussein]

[@kartikmaheshwari2742]

Thanks for the Video, they are really inspiring and helpful. It would be grateful if you make a video on ways to network on LinkedIn, Hacks etc.

[@AfzalHussein]

Will do. This one has been heavily requested. Thanks :)

[@seansomoray2879]

I love videos like these! They’re kinda like attending a seminar.

[@Chopper8472]

Afzal great tips as always. Please make a video on LinkedIn hacks, ways to network, send messages to managers you haven't met before.

[@AfzalHussein]

Thanks, will do!

[@matteo7816]

Very informative video, thank you as always. I believe a video on how to get the best out of LinkedIn would be great

[@AfzalHussein]

Thanks! Have added it to the list.

[@stefanycifuenteslara]

Yes on the LinkedIn video please! That’d be super helpful.

[@ismailmalik5873]

A video on LinkedIn would be really helpful. Thanks

[@petercloud7651]

Can you do a video on what to do if you miss the spring week season. It seems many people got summers off their spring week experiences. So if you dont apply to springs in first year, are you screwed?

[@SuperDarthWindu]

Thanks for the great video! Those Linkedin videos sound pretty interesting ;)

[@AfzalHussein]

My pleasure! :)

Hello Afzal, thank you for your tips and for your work, you are doing good. My best friend's cousin is a MD in a bank, I am not from a target school and I am from Paris, I have some experiences, one in a big 4 in audit. What would be the best way to network with my friend's cousin without being rude or too frontal. Thank you

[@99evan76]

Thank u Afzal for making this video!!!!, & FIRST XD!!!!

[@AfzalHussein]

Haha, my pleasure! Thanks for watching :)

[@lbj9264]

Hello Afzal, I'm organizing a conference in my business school (top 5 in France), and my finance club would love to discuss with you about it. Maybe you could develop a new network in France? Please answer it :) . Btw, great video !

[@nffs6148]

Great videos great content. I d suggest to make the vids max 7 minutes long though, and or break the 23 minute videos into parts . But great content so maybe I’m wrong .

[@fishxd7420]

keep it up bro!

[@AfzalHussein]

Thanks!

[@firojakhatun7331]

[@martinklein1139]

Quality instead of quantity?? What about ur LinkedIn network??

[@AfzalHussein]

Haha! Fair point! I can't control my following or connection requests! I'm trying to impact more and more people in a positive way :)

[@techroks]

So what's the reason that you decided to quit investment banking after 4 years in? And what do you do now?

[@AfzalHussein]

I could do a whole video on this! Long story short, my passions for entrepreneurship, public speaking and helping young people break into tough industries, often from disadvantaged backgrounds, were greater than anything else. What do I do now? See here: www.afzalhussein.com, www.officialcvdoctor.com and www.linkedin.com/in/afzalhussein

Is it possible for u to refer ?

Hello, where did you study ?

[@AfzalHussein]

Queen Mary, University of London.

[@EvadeModsRGH]

Do you think a bachelor of commerce is a good degree for investment banking?

[@AfzalHussein]

Not entirely about the degree. This might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppLTo4yCgMlqgcU&lc=UgxBqfO4aWldS-Ii90Z4AaABAg
