Commandments for Conducting a Successful Proactive Job Search Campaign 8
8. Manage your time efficiently.

Spend 10-20 minutes or less with each recruiter or hiring authority/executive you talk to if they don’t have an immediate opportunity to discuss, and don’t get sucked into shooting the breeze with other networking contacts.
Remember, time is a zero sum game. If your goal is to connect with a given number of recruiters or hiring authorities/executives, be careful not to spend too much time with any one person if there is no identified job opportunity to discuss.
If the call was not scheduled, then by definition you are ambushing someone with the call. If you are connecting with someone worth spending more time with, schedule an appointment for a follow-up call. If you don’t do this, you risk having no control of your productivity.
