Professional networking is the strategic cultivation of relationships with individuals and groups within your industry or field. It goes beyond simply collecting business cards; it's about building genuine connections, fostering mutually beneficial exchanges, and creating a network that can support your professional growth.

The more you network, the more people you can potentially lean on when you need a professional favor. This can ultimately benefit you in your career and help you reach your professional goals.


Benefits of Professional Networking:

Career Advancement: Networking can open doors to new job opportunities through referrals, introductions, and increased visibility within your field.

Knowledge Sharing and Learning: Networking allows you to tap into the expertise and experiences of others. This includes learning about industry trends, best practices, and valuable insights that may not be readily available elsewhere.

Increased Visibility and Credibility: Actively engaging in professional networks helps you establish yourself as a thought leader within your industry. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you build trust and credibility, enhancing your professional brand.

Finding Mentors and Allies: Through networking, you can connect with experienced professionals who can offer guidance and support as you navigate your career path. These mentors can provide valuable career advice, feedback, and encouragement.

Building Strategic Partnerships: Professional networks can lead to collaborations and partnerships with other businesses or individuals who share your goals or complement your skillset.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は23℃です。

天気が良いので少しだけ暑く感じます。

今日はコロケーションについて。
コロケーションという言葉を聞いたことがありますか？
日本語訳で調べると連語れんご、と出てきますが、
要は言葉の自然な組み合わせのことを言います。

英語だと、
fast food をquick foodとは言いませんね。
wash laundryではなく、do laundry 
strong rainではなく、heavy rain 
など言うようです。

日本語はというと、
例えば、
ご飯を食べる
飯を食う

と言いますが、これを
ご飯を食う
とか
飯を食べる
とはほとんど言いません。

知らない間に覚えたものだと、
かぜをひく
傘をさす

なども同じコロケーションですね。
かぜになる
かさをする
間違ってはいませんが、もしかすると、日本人は少し違和感があるかもしれません。

他にも、
約束をやぶる
影響を与える、及ばす
攻撃を受ける

などがあります。

私のpodcastの26で服を着る表現について話しましたが、
これもコロケーションの１つです。
興味がわく、あ、これもコロケーションですね。
興味が出る、とか興味が上がる、とは言いません。

興味がわいた方は、ぜひ26のpodcastも聴いてきてください！

ということで今日も最後まで聴いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
