Network Magic
To thrive in this competitive economic environment, now more than ever before, it is not what you know but who you know, that is important. Every day, with every action you are building and communicating something about yourself. What image do you want to project and to whom do you want to project it?
Looking for a new job? Networking has been rated by far the most productive job search strategy. If you are not looking for a job, every contact is still an opportunity to prepare for that day when you are.
A warm referral, one provided by another person,
receives 70 percent greater attention than a cold call.
