Yes, most of us are now faced with the holiday party, open house, soiree etc. Why not take the time to mingle with everyone and make potential contacts? Its a great way to get to know people who you would otherwise not see on a daily basis. Who knows, maybe a great project or job opportunity might arise?
Introductions are always the key. Be firm but not too forward. A great handshake and smile start off the conversation. What do you do? is a great question to start off with. Make sure to talk about yourself using professionalism and keep personal detailed stories to a minimum. You don't want to bring in the "my cat died recently" etc. Talk about personal interests, for example some of the volunteer events that you are involved with and some accomplishments are always great discussion points.
Happy Networking.
