Networking Your Way to a Job
Everyone recognizes the importance of networking. It is one of the most important activities that job-seekers should master to be truly successful in both getting a job and getting a better position within a company. Because the vast majority of job openings are never advertised, job-seekers need to have ways to make new contacts. How do we get started? Who are actually the best people to network with? There really are only six points of separation between you and anyone else – if you are working with people who love to talk with strangers! Sometimes there really is a person in our address book who we forget can help. Just because a person is very smart or accomplished does not always mean they are the best at networking. Sincerity and asking others what they need are much better then smooth talk and “flash.”
