Tip No. 190
Q. Why do you believe networking is such an important component of my career search?
A. It is an accepted fact that at least 75% of all jobs are obtained from networking. If you think about this, it makes sense. People tend to hire people who they know and people who they like. If you have an introduction to a prospective employer from a networking contact, it means you have a common acquaintance you both know and someone you probably both like. This mutual relationship helps establish rapport, which is an integral component of a successful career search.
