I was referred to Matt by a former colleague who encouraged me to meet with Matt to help me expand my networking contacts, as part of my career transition activity. Matt’s response to meet was terrific and our meeting , at his virtual office in Starbucks, was impactfull ! Within seconds he connected me with the person he was last meeting with , I was his 6th face to face meeting that day and two potential employers….and it was only 2:00pm !! Matt has since presented his Reverse Networking strategy to a networking group I’m connected with. He engaged the “sold out” room with his enspiring , compelling successfull strategies……. 6 key points…. which focus on Attitude shift, being Relevant, Consistent, Accessible, create deeper Relationships often (the why we network) and the key ….take Action …”Pay it Forward” ! Thanks Matt !!

I met Matt for the first time while at Starbucks. I was there for a meeting.
Matt came up to me, introduced himself and handed me his business card.

I then went home, googled Matt Whitman and found all of this great information about reverse networking. Ironically enough, I had just lost my job at the time.

Matt then took the time to meet with me, provide some job searching tips and networking ideas. He was my first contact.

Matt has this talent for connecting with people. His ideas have helped me both personally and professionally. I’m happy to be connected to Matt!

Great concept. ‘Third party validation’ works well to give credibility in the marketplace…but you take it to a whole new level.

Matt, Everything you do is just great and I wish I could be able to learn from you more and more , I ve been watching every single step you do for a long time , maybe from the first time I met you at your office which was like one and a half year ago . I keep read your comments and your activities.

I did watch your talking about the networking and how it works for you in helping people finding their needs , what’s about Job Matt , when you stay looking for a job for a long time and nobody cares and nobody would give you a chance to start off , to improve for your self and others how much you are important in your filed ,but in the end you will be ended alone talking to your self in your room suffering from depression and lonliness ,then again you say to yourself no you should not give up but now I did , I gave up .

I liked your tatoo and I really know the deep meaning for every single word you wrot

Matt, I did socialatiz and networked and smiled but it didn’t work out for me , maybe because I’m not orginal from here . Now I’m fed up and i’m going back to Syria and I would come back in 2 or 3 years to resettle down here . Really happy to know someone like you .
Best Regards

Hey Matt, I’ve never heard of reverse networking but I’ve instinctively been practicing it for years….thanks for having this on your site! Good to know there’s a title for it!

A little bit about me: since my conversion in 1978, God has given me the gift of music & comedy to reach out to others, to both believers & unbelievers. The songs He’s given me edify believers and also serve as a ‘hook’ for reaching out to the unsaved.

If you could promote me in any way so that these gifts get more exposure, that would be awesome. I’m currently in treatment for an aggressive form of breast cancer – I’m doing radiation for another 5 weeks.

My heart is ultimately to travel around & sing my little heart out for others! I have a spot on my lung and another on my spine, and it is yet undetermined whether or not these spots are cancer or just mere shadows on the CT scan. I’ve decided, though, that whatever the outcome, I will serve the Lord Jesus for as long as He gives me the strength to do so.

Please feel free to check out my websites… http://www.wendy.ca is the general one; http://www.wendyfarha.ca is the Christian/Ministries one.

Blessings to you and your family, Matt,

Wendy

Great site Matt! Thanks for following up with Hermen. BTW he is also looking for employment, although I think he may be over qualified for a number of positions.
Let me know how you make out!

Thanks Pat
