[quote=Anonymous]Networking is important because it can help you find jobs that aren't posted. It's not just who you know know, it's who THEY know. I used my network to do informational interviews with people I knew to find out more about their work and how they ended up there. Then I asked these contacts for 3 more contacts each, and did informational interviews with them. One of those second level people (started out as a complete stranger to me) knew of a job that was not posted, and connected me with the hiring manager for my current job. The job was never posted so I had no competition, and I got hired. That's networking. It doesn't come naturally to me, but I swear by it.[/quote]
