Saly: Culture Tips in Lao

This Culture Tip answers the question: “What is networking?”( in Lao)

· a network Lao translation

The Internet connects people. Lao translation

Eliz: Welcome once again to “Culture Tips” with Gary Engleton.

Today, our e-mail question is: “American business people are always talking about networking.”

“What exactly is networking?”

Gary: Well, a network is a group of things that are connected.

Eliz: Like the Internet.

Gary: Exactly. The Internet connects people.

“Networking” means keeping in touch with the people you know in business—for example, your suppliers, customers, and co-workers.

You can also network with people you used to work with, and with people you knew at your university.

Eliz: So why do people network?

Gary: Well, if you talk to a lot of people, you will hear different points of view and your information will be up to date.

This is important in business.

And networking is especially important if you are looking for a job.

People in your network can tell you about job openings, and they can recommend you to their employers.

Eliz: So, Gary, who is in your network?

Gary: People like you.

And I am in your network.

Eliz: I’ll keep that in mind.

Thanks for your tips, Gary.
