WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Network While Working From Home · 2 Nov 2020 podcast

not natural for everybody, but you have to sort of try to bring your personality across as much as you can on a video call as you would as if you were in person. voice-verified

And that's really going to be a challenge. voice-verified

That human dynamic in general is a challenge for online networking. voice-verified

And several experts I talked to, though, said that they think the future of networking is going to be some hybrid of online and physical when it's safe to. voice-verified

That's an absolutely good question. voice-verified

And several experts I talked to for the story told me that it's just a really good idea to ask whether someone prefers to do a phone call or a video call. voice-verified

The video call option voice-verified

when you give them that option, they can sort of decide whether it's something that they want to dress up for, or they're going to have to dress up for, or if it's something they'd rather do on phone and not have to dress up for. voice-verified

I talked with one career counselor who mentioned to me that she always asked the question because it's going to determine voice-verified

you know, whether she can go to the gym later or not. voice-verified

And literally she was like, if it's going to be a phone call, I know I can keep on my sweatpants and my sneakers because I'm going to go running right after we get off the phone. voice-verified

But if she had planned to go running and the decision is made to do a video call, that just alters her whole day. voice-verified

So especially now, it's just really important to ask which one someone prefers. voice-verified

And also because we're working from home, again, people are juggling things. voice-verified

A phone call allows them to continue talking to you, even if they're doing something else. voice-verified

A video call requires them to sort of just they have to sit there. voice-verified

They can't do anything else. voice-verified

They can't multitask, if you will. voice-verified

So that's another reason besides, you know, whether or not you have to dress up and show up in, you know, in a full face of makeup and in a full, you know, business wear or business casual wear. voice-verified

That's another reason to ask whether the person prefers, you know, phone or video. voice-verified
