Networking and the Hidden Job Market
What is networking?
- Sharing knowledge and contacts
- Helping others
- Building relationships before you need them
- Getting the help you need when you need it
- Getting more done with less effort
Networking is the art of building and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships before you need them! Then when you need them, you know whom to call, and they will want to help you.
