Let's Face It: Sometimes It's Who You Know
It is estimated that nearly 80 percent
of jobs are never advertised. Many jobs are filled
simply because someone knows someone who
knows the right person. In this fiercely competitive job
market, the more "someones" you know, the more
successful you will be.
It is better to be "over-connected"
than to minimize your networking efforts and, as such,
your chances of being tapped for one of the many
positions still being filled despite these tough
economic times. That said, there are many different
types of networking; some are passive and some are
active, but the most important networking is the
strategic networking you do with a particular goal in
mind. Strategic networkers are thoughtful in their
outreach, marketing themselves to potential
employers in appropriate ways through contacts who
can speak to their strengths and successes. Whether
you are an introvert or extrovert, developing a personal
networking strategy can make all the difference.
